1/ I’m SO into this new episode of #SERiousEpi!!
I’m literally talking into air, trying to inject myself into the conversation. I decided better to just tweet my thoughts!

2/ Re: p-hacking: I was really lucky to learn about dangers of p-hacking/selective reporting/publication bias early when I took Charlie Poole’s meta-analysis class in my MSPH at @UNCSPHResearch
Seeing the funnel plot assymetry in study estimates was powerful!

3/ We even published this study 👇🏾 years later.
If I’d known how much work it was going to be, I may not have done it! But I was young & energetic & totally in love with Epi Methods 😍…
Same story as everyone!

COVID-19 and other inequities have further highlighted the need for social epi

No one definition of social epidemiology. Social epidemiologists are interested in collective. Causal inference is a tool but we must move forward and translate into action and practice

Today's #SERiousEpi journal club is kicking off with a brief overview of a recent paper by @_MiguelHernan and @sandrogalea on social epidemiology and causal inference.
In that paper, the authors identify 3 misconceptions:
*that social exposures are somehow qualitatively different than other exposures
*that the primary goal of causal inference is to identify causes
*that causal inference requires manipulation of causes.
*that social exposures are somehow qualitatively different than other exposures
*that the primary goal of causal inference is to identify causes
*that causal inference requires manipulation of causes.
In response to this paper, @WhitneyEpi and @zinzinator reflect on these misconceptions. They respond that:
*individual-level exposures *are* different from social exposures
*in social epi, we *do* want to identify causes
*context and social dynamics matter in social epi
*individual-level exposures *are* different from social exposures
*in social epi, we *do* want to identify causes
*context and social dynamics matter in social epi
