IX. Risk, causation, mediation, and moderation
This ERA monograph chapter brings together cohort findings concerning risk, causation, possible pathways connecting early deprivation to later outcomes, and factors that may alter these associations. It also presents additional data on genetic moderation of institutional deprivation effects. The abstract identifies the analysis topics but does not report the direction or size of the new genetic results.
Limitations: Only the abstract was reviewed, so no specific genetic findings are attributed to this chapter. Much of the chapter revisits results reported elsewhere in the same monograph. It is an observational cohort analysis and should not be counted as independent replication. Publications from the ERA programme use overlapping participants; separate publications are not independent samples.
