      When @netflix chose to release and promote a show about a teen who committed suicide, experts warned that it could to cause an increase in suicides especially among adolescents. Now, research finds that's exactly what happened. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science-news/2019/release-of-13-reasons-why-associated-with-increase-in-youth-suicide-rates.shtml …pic.twitter.com/me1QMTDxSt

      Look, school shootings and suicides and terrorism/mass killings are mediated partially through media exposure/contagion and how we handle them—on mass media, social media, all of it. The evidence has piled up. Need to develop and follow sensible guidelines.

      Hi "correlation is not causation" people in my mentions. That's not where science stops! Correlation is not causation except when it is. Correlation is the bedrock of causation. Researchers go to great lengths to identify confounders. PLUS this tracks with ton of other research.

          I'm trying—and failing—to visualize the IRB application for a controlled, randomized study of adolescent suicide…

          You can infer causation from observational studies if you are careful enough about how you control for confounders.

          The researchers in this case didn't go to any lengths to do anything but show an associative increase in suicide rates among a limited group based on a time frame. To say this is correlative of ANYTHING risks obfuscating the real cause of the increase before more studies are done
