SUMMARY:Asking better research questions: Foods and the Mediterranean Diet
DESCRIPTION:<p>'First define your question'. Research of all fields begins in a similar way; however, questions that involve dietary interventions pose unique challenges. Even in the context of a trial, the effects of a dietary intervention will depend on a population's usual diet, available foods, as well as the population's food literacy and <span>culinary </span>practices. Additionally, participation in a trial may trigger changes in participants' lifestyles, potentially masking the true effects of the dietary intervention.</p><p>The '<em>causal revolution</em>' has <span>helped investigators better define the core elements of their research questions and </span>has introduced methodological approaches to answer themo more effectively. Having completed his PhD program in Pamplona, Navarra -one of the research centers of the PREDIMED - Trial- Dr. Pano will discuss the <em>causal revolution </em>in the context of nutritional epidemiology and present results from his work on the effects of the Mediterranea Diet in the prevention of type 2 diabetes.&nbsp;</p><drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="f7c77153-7513-47c5-9880-e8c4eab3bbde">&nbsp;</drupal-media><p><strong>Speaker: Octavio Pano Espinola</strong><em><strong> </strong>(<span>Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Division of Preventive Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Harvard University)</span></em></p><p><strong>Sponsors:</strong> RCCHU; Brigham and Women's Hospital; Harvard Medical School, Harvard University</p>
