Great to collaborate with you, Julie!
What happens to high-risk prescribing when 40 Interns are randomized to receive simulation to address stressful situations vs. online training? New paper in @AGSJournal funded by our @C4HDS @NIHAging Roybal Center! w/@niteeshchoudhry @ideas42 @rebecca_oran @MaxCollMD & others!

At Robin Hood Opportunity AI Summit. Very much aligns with @ideas42’s work in AI, including our work to prevent bias in algorithms ideas42.org/blog/uncovering-… and ML personalization ideas42.org/blog/machine-lea…

"We already know that #artificialintelligence inherits biases from humans. The question that we are asking in our laboratory is how [AI] can influence human decisions." More on how humans can absorb and carry bias beyond their interactions with AI. bit.ly/3Ml4Hm7

Great result, and speaks to the need for more packages of interventions
Nudges are often directed to only patients or doctors, but shared decision-making includes both. In a new study in @JAMACardio we found nudges to patients AND doctors tripled statin prescribing and worked better than nudges to either group alone. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… @sri_adu

Medicare and Medicaid allocate ~ $24 billion in subsidies to safety-net hospitals each year. In a paper out today in @JAMANetworkOpen, @ChatterjeePaula and I show these subsidies are biased against communities of color. 🧵⬇️ 1/N jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

I'm just a behavior scientist standing in front of health researchers trying to make them realize that "behavioral economics" doesn't just mean financial incentives.

Amazing Ziad, way to go!
I spend a lot of “research” time pleading for access to health data @m_sendhil and I co-founded a new nonprofit, @NightingaleOS, so you don’t have to We link medical imaging data + ground truth outcomes, and make it available—free! Launching tomorrow at #NeurIPS2021

We're figuring out how to build healthy habits RT @ideas42: We're working with @C4HDS to test whether cue-reward-repetition principles help w/ #medicationadherence in patients w/ gout. Stay tuned for results of a 3 arm RCT testing next year pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3481…
