I love using marine animal encounters to explain ICD codes to my undergrad RAs. Do we really need to know if someone was bitten by an orca (W56.21), or is knowing that they had contact with an orca (W56.2) or had contact with any nonvenomous marine animal (W56) sufficient information?

The conclusion is really important: don't assume that investing in 'older' young people doesn't work. Rather think more broadly about the sorts of relational investments most likely to pay-off.

Want to help some of the most vulnerable young people in society get on in life? Then extend the age at which young adults leave foster care, says this fascinating new US study by
@khmusen.bsky.social
The effects - particularly on employment rates - are significant.
