Researchers may want to evaluate exposure-disease causation by assessing whether the disease under concern is induced by the various exposures - the so-called "attribution". In this paper, the authors propose a method to attribute diseases to multiple pathways based on the causal-pie model. The method can also be used to evaluate the potential impact of an intervention strategy and to allocate responsibility in tort-law liability issues.enattribution; causal-pie model; disease pathways; epidemiological methodsjournal article10.2147/CLEP.S160205297402202-s2.0-85047731235WOS:000431442500001https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85047731235
