Want to know how to use MAIHDA to examine heterogeniety in policy outcomes? Here's a nice worked-through example! How does intersectional identity impact preference for in-person vs online GP appoinments? Has been great working with @healthfoundation.bsky.social colleagues on this :)

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Another q for the stats people! People worry about collinearity (cf blog post below). Consider a scenario in which the collinear predictors are just controls to account for confounding. Including both of them doesn't impair the precision with which the effect of interest is estimated, does it?

It’s my first project too! In fact, it’s also my first in epidemiology since I come from philosophy. :) I find stratified graphs based on social categories (like Hernández-Yumar, 2018) really interesting.

New preprint! osf.io/preprints/ps... The age-period-cohort problem is something that many researchers are vaguely aware of. There have been very cool advances in how to reason about it which don't seem to be well-known in psych. So, I've written a primer!

Abstract
Psychological researchers are interested in how things change over time and routinely make claims about, for example, age effects (e.g., personality changes with age) or cohort effects (e.g., differences in intelligence between cohorts). The age-period-cohort identification problem means that these claims are not possible based on the data alone: Any possible temporal pattern can be explained by an infinite number of combinations of age, period, and cohort effects. This concern holds regardless of the study design—it also applies to longitudinal designs covering multiple cohorts—and regardless of the number of observations available—it also applies if we observe the whole population. Researchers rely on statistical models that impose assumptions to pick one specific combination of effects. But these assumptions are often opaque and researchers may be unaware of them, resulting in a lack of scrutiny. Here,...

Rereading @andrewjdbell.bsky.social's 2020 paper on APC analysis & this is such a great example of how plots imply certain interpretations of the data. Same underlying data but depending on how you connect the lines, the implied age effect looks completely different.
