Another striking study: RCT showing that a subsidy for produce did not improve outcomes such as HbA1c or ED visits (or BP or BMI). There may be other benefits, but if trying to improve these outcomes, providing such a subsidy isn't where you want to put your money in.

An important paper showing that, for Veterans visiting an ED with a mental health condition, having delayed follow up causes decreased engagement with mental health care and increases mortality.

New letter in @jamanetworkopen.com! A clinically-oriented one examining the setting where meds affecting cognition (e.g., antipsychotics) are prescribed from. We find they are disproportionately prescribed from acute or post-acute settings (i.e., emergency room, hospital, SNF). 1/3

If you're buying plane tickets to ASHEcon '26, make sure you stay for our session (last of the conference) of 3 RDs studying heuristics, stigma, & guidelines. With @aschwartz.bsky.social, @vinisingh.bsky.social, @dzeltzer.bsky.social, and @mlbarnett.bsky.social! ashecon.confex.com/ashecon/2026...

Looks like the ASHEcon 2026 conference agenda has dropped. Warning: Don't take an early departure flight the last day, or you'll miss a session I'm really excited about. Not 1, not 2, but 3 (!) papers using RDs to understand physician decision-making. ashecon.confex.com/ashecon/2026...

Excited to post a new working paper with @instrumenthull.bsky.social and Michal Kolesár: arxiv.org/abs/2511.03572 Will post a thread on it soon, but if you're interested in judge/examiner designs, I think you'll find this guide very helpful!

Kid a few years from now: “Daddy, why is my name Yoshinobu?”

Someone on a listserv I was on asked how to install SPSS on a server. I scoffed before realizing one day soon I'll be asking how to install Stata on a server and someone else will be rolling their eyes...

A great listen!!!

New paper w/ Brian McGarry, Ashvin Gandhi, and Drew Wilcock in @jamainternalmed.com! Hospitals are complaining across the US that patients are "stuck" waiting for rehab beds at nursing homes when they are medically stable and ready for discharge. What is going on?? jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

🚨New paper🚨The emergency department (ED) is like a box of chocolates; you never know which doc you're gonna get. What happens when you get a doc that admits patients more often? Are you less likely to die? @stephencoussens and I explore this question in @JAMAInternalMed.🧵1/

Happy Halloween, y’all. Here’s something scary for you today. #EconSky #EduSky

PSA: many of your Israeli, Palestinian, and Jewish friends and colleagues are experiencing trauma and grief right now. Reach out to show you care about them. One human being to another. Politics aside. I’m not okay but I gain much strength and comfort from all of you who did so. Thank you.
