Nice paper from @amitba showing that RCTs may be proof of principle, but they are not necessarily generalizable. Nice analysis and thoughtful suggestions for research.academic.oup.com/tbm/advance…

Rethinking engagement in digital health requires an analysis of why people are not engaging. Paper helps reveal we are too focused on general content and not enough on how people change and what they need as they embark on their journey.
People download apps but how much do they use these apps? Look into our new paper on real-world user engagement with popular #mentalhealth apps. #mhealth #digitalhealth @FredMuench jmir.org/2019/9/e14567/

Love this article which summarizes the research well. Impulse control is guided by uncertainty, short-term needs, resources, social networks, and alternatives, among other things (eg genetics) - which is why it is an equity issue as much as anything else. xitter.cf/voxdotcom/status/10006…

Here is a nice article on what we know and don't know about overdose prevention with naloxone that is well-rounded based on a review of the science. bit.ly/2FIjKFh
