Did Australian legislators who were out of step w/ their constituents on the issue of same-sex marriage suffer electorally in the 2019 election? A new WP by me and @jillesheppard says "no, not to any substantively meaningful degree" drive.google.com/file/d/1X6m0Us… #teamprecisenulls

We tackle the question two ways. We look at individual level data, and find no sig. effect. -- but the individual level data is under-powered to detect an interaction effect of the kind we're interested in
1/ Our new study @JAMANetworkOpen: Do patients evaluate black/female docs lower simply bc of race/gender? Results from vignette experiments suggest not. @basmahsaf @peyton_k @gordonkrafttodd

2/ Inspiration for the study came from personal experiences as a young female ER doc frequently restating my credential to patients, increased reports of #patientbias, and a headline of a young black physician who was rejected from assisting a passenger on a plane
3/ We have seen in prior observational work that many docs report patient-initiated harassment. But in the age of patient satisfaction surveys, no clear causal estimates abt. whether physician race/gender affects these ratings.
