Intervening on a central node in a network likely does little given that its connected neighbors will "flip it back" immediately. Happy to see this position supported now.

Good explanation of odds ratios. As Noah notes, ORs can often be tough to interpret. One way to improve interpretability is to present results in terms of Quantities of Interest such as probabilities (logistic) and counts (poisson/negative binomial) as argued here: psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

Thinking about odds ratios...
An odds is a ratio of events to non-events. For example, if the event is survival, the odds of survival is the number of survivors per death. If the event is getting a disease, the odds is the number of diseased individuals per healthy individual.
