About the Kolokotrones Symposium

The symposia are hosted both in-person at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and virtually via Zoom. Past symposium topics have included causal inference in pregnancy, cardiovascular devices, suicide prevention, secure data environments, COVID-19 and more.
20th Kolokotrones Symposium
Acetaminophen During Pregnancy and Autism: What Does Causal Inference Take?
The 20th Kolokotrones Symposium will be held November 14, 2025. In-person attendance is limited to Harvard ID holders due to space restrictions. Online attendance is free and open to the public. Limited spots are available, so please register now to reserve your spot.
The symposium will provide an introduction to the epidemiology of autism, present what is currently known about the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, describe possible explanations for this association, and explore the challenges and opportunities to design better studies to estimate the causal effect. The symposium will conclude with an expert panel that will consider the question: where do we go from here?
Speakers’ remarks are based on their own scholarship and experience. As such, they speak for themselves, and not for Harvard University.
