Dr. Julie Goodman delivered the introductory talk at the Symposium on Causal Methods in Epidemiological Studies of Particulate Matter and Mortality meeting. The Symposium focused on answering the basic question: Have reductions in particulate matter resulted in intended decreases in mortality? Three competitively selected research teams addressed this question using independent methods and study designs, using the same research-ready dataset consisting of Medicare mortality data and data on air pollutants and meteorological factors from 1999-2013.
