  1. Setting the scene Case study Q&A Wrapping up References Causal diagram M 1 C M 2 X Y • We want to separate the effect of SES on survival into an effect via screening and an effect via treatment, and an effect via neither. • This is complicated by the fact that M 1 can affect M 2 . • In fact, we don’t have data on screening, but we’ll use age and stage at diagnosis as a proxy for screening. • So our M 1 is in fact a vector.
