Abstract
Objectives:
To introduce a new tool for assessing risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions

Description:
We will describe the recently-developed tool for assessing risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions (formerly known as ACROBAT-NRSI, but now called ROBINS-I). After a general introduction to methodological issues in non-randomized studies and an overview of the tool, participants will have the opportunity to try out part of the ROBINS-I tool for a specific observational study.
