We used the amazing HCUP dataset to analyze >600K electronic health records from 8-12-year-olds in the emergency room for mental health or suicide risk. This covered a decade of data from 12 states in the US.
Childhood Suicide Risk in the Emergency Department
This cohort study examines electronic health records from children presenting to the emergency department (ED) for suicide thoughts and behaviors to identify risks of return ED visits.

This has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding (and sobering) collaborations I have been involved in, especially the integration of advanced stat methods and deep substantive expertise. Crucial empirical data and results that we hope can inform policy discussions.

Our review is out today - bottom line: the risk of dying from alcohol use begins at low levels of average use
The second, big federal review of the risks of moderate drinking is out today, and its findings contradict the earlier report:

The risk of dying from alcohol use rises markedly for men & women who consume *more than one drink per day.*

Let me explain 🧵:

The basic principle is that reviewers are tired, they're rushed, they're reading your and 10 other grants on top of their normal workload.

Anything you can do to make it easy for them will help.

Here's a list of my suggestions.
As a grant reviewer, what do you really wish people would do/not do?

Not big things, like find a significant question/innovative method/be consistent with aims

Little things, like bold each acronym the first time it’s used.
