So grateful that our paper on propensity score methods was the most accessed in @J_Epidemi! We discussed nuanced differences between the alternative PS approaches and how they differ from multivariable outcome regression. Thanks to my friend and co-author @palace127.

Trip to Japan with global leaders in well-being research and policymaking. Key themes were: understanding well-being from an Eastern perspective through Zen meditation (Kyoto) and peace and harmony b/w humans & nature as the foundation for sustainable development (Hiroshima).

New study led by a stellar master's student, Toshi Komura, at @BUSPH! We examined differential effects of high life satisfaction on cognitive functioning. Life satisfaction appeared least beneficial among older adults with low SES and health problems.

Our recent study examined whether the association between informal helping and mortality differs by age, gender, race/ethnicity, wealth, income, and education. We found evidence that the heath benefit of helping is stronger among women and the wealthiest.

Our latest paper explores the long-term cognitive impact of disaster-related trauma among older adult survivors. We found that those with a history of childhood adversities are particularly vulnerable when they experienced home loss. academic.oup.com/aje/advance-ar…

Hey #epitwitter! As a medic, I'm curious about propensity score matching in large observational datasets. When is it better than routine regression adjustment? Insights from @statsepi @EpiEllie @PWGTennant @RWJE_BA @f2harrell @stephensenn @noah_greifer @tmorris_mrc appreciated!
