Losing a friend. Older men have the highest suicide rate of any demographic group. This challenge doesn't get nearly the attention it should. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/13/o...
Harold Pollack: I studied the high male suicide rate. Then I lost my friend to it.
We middle-aged and older men face higher suicide rates than are found among our teenage sons and grandsons, or among women at any age.

Unfortunately, one of the many the grants canceled at @Harvard.edu was my T32 in Comparative Effectiveness Research for Suicide Prevention
If you’re coming to #SMDM47 @smdm.bsky.social come see the previously funded great work we are doing related to suicide prevention

Reminded of a special memory: in 4th grade my best friend Zach came to school kinda down. I asked what’s wrong and he said he just listened to the saddest song and it’s got him feeling kinda down. He pulls out his iPod to have me listen to the theme song from the tv show Scrubs

So excited this finally out!! 🥳 Thread on our new paper 👇
NEW in Management Science!
My coauthors and I came up with a new consequentialist approach to designing equitable algorithms.
Instead of imposing fairness criteria on an algorithm (like equal false negative rates), we aim for good outcomes.
More in the 🧵 below! (1/)

The use of race in clinical risk models is heavily debated. While race-aware models can be more accurate, some are concerned about reinforcing racialized views of medicine. In our paper, we offer a new perspective on this debate. 🧵👇https://annals.org/aim/article/doi/10.7326/M23-3166
