Evidential Pluralism provides an account of how to establish causal claims in medicine and the health science, and a new approach to evidence-based medicine, called ‘EBM+’.

For overviews of the EBM+ programme, please see this paper on The EBM+ Movement. And here is a handbook on the EBM+ approach: Evaluating evidence of mechanisms in medicine: Principles and procedures.

For some motivation for EBM+, see:

• Trisha Greenhalgh, David Fisman, Danielle J Cane, et al.: Adapt or die: how the pandemic made the shift from EBM to EBM+ more urgent.

• Jon Williamson: Establishing causal claims in medicine.

Please see the Papers page for more references.
