DESCRIPTION:Title: Addressing Unmeasured Confounding in Observational Stud
 ies: Advances with Negative Control Methods and Proximal Causal Inference\
 n\nAbstract: Unmeasured confounding remains one of the most significant th
 reats to the credibility of findings from observational studies. Recent de
 velopments in negative control methods\, also known as proximal causal inf
 erence\, offer promising strategies to strengthen causal conclusions. Thes
 e approaches leverage negative controls —variables that have no direct c
 ausal relationship with either the exposure or the outcome — to detect a
 nd adjust for unmeasured confounding. In this talk\, I will review the fou
 ndations of negative control methods and introduce the double negative con
 trol framework. I will then present our recent work extending this framewo
 rk to settings where some candidate negative control variables may themsel
 ves be invalid. I will conclude with a discussion of open challenges and f
 uture research directions.
