New study from @ElizabethCLong tests the use of narratives describing lived experience with SUDs to boost policymakers’ engagement with #SUD research sent via email. Engagement generally increased when the sender described their own experience with SUD. buff.ly/3Zn0K79

Update: We received over 400 applications for 120 spots, so used a fair lottery to determine who was invited. Invites went out this past week. Stay tuned for more of these workshops in the future! Clearly there is demand for these. 🤓 We also plan to hold similar workshops for practitioners, to help them become better consumers of causal research.
Are you a researcher looking to improve your causal inference skills? I'm excited to announce that the CJ team @Arnold_Ventures is hosting 3 causal inference workshops this fall! Two are the day before ASC (Nov 12 in San Francisco), and one is the day before APPAM (Nov 20 just outside DC). We will cover all workshop costs, including participants' travel. ** The deadline to sign up is September 25th. ** Huge thanks to @instrumenthull, @jmwooldridge, and @EricChyn for teaching these courses. 🎉 Each section is capped at 40 people, to ensure a great learning environment. If we receive more interest than that, participants will be chosen via a fair lottery. Please spread the word! More info and the link to sign up are here: cvent.me/47WByP

Check out my response to @VitalCityNYC ‘s latest issue “Does Evidence Matter?” where I offer a new perspective on @MeganTStevenson ‘s recent review of CJ research evidence. (Spoiler alert: it’s all about implementation and local context!)

Data is critical to improvement but without a meaningful context it's difficult to use data to promote change. When we explain data with a compelling story that links to people's values and a sense of shared purpose, then things start to move..
