2/ Also, I’m trying to get the MCS (mental component summary score) through 2022 but it is only listed as being available through 2016. (AI says it should be available in later years although without full comparability to the pre-2016 data.) Any help available on this?

7/ I'd love to hear any thoughts on this work, as well as ideas for future research.

6/Finally, in the primary specifications, deteriorating mental health accounts for an estimated 9% to 29% of the rise in mortality rates among prime-age Whites in recent years.

5/Fourth, heterogeneity in how worsening mental distress affects mortality—rather than in mental health trends themselves—is more important in explaining Black-White disparities in its overall impact.

4/Third, while these correlations lend some support to the broader idea of “deaths of despair,” the specific causes comprising them appear to be both more expansive and different from those previously emphasized.

3/ First, mental health deteriorated from 1993-2019 for all population groups examined. Second, these declines are associated with higher predicted death rates and help explain worsening mortality trends for prime-age non-Hispanic Whites and, to a lesser extent, non-Hispanic Blacks from 1999-2019.

2/The main takeaway is that while declining psychological health has likely contributed to adverse mortality trends—especially among prime-age non-Hispanic Whites—its overall impact is limited and not well captured by standard definitions of “deaths of despair.”
Five findings support this conclusion

No! Leave out the roadmap paragraph. It’s a waste of space.

8. Leaving the planet a better place for my children and grandchildren.

Of course, many of these are human values, rather than anything particularly masculine or feminine.

5. Recognizing the advantages I have received as a result of the circumstances of my life. And understanding that others may not have received those advantages.
6. Respecting women, LGBTQ individuals – basically everyone.
7. Protecting the environment.

2. Showing emotions to those around us as appropriate and having the maturity to not show anger or frustration when not appropriate to do so.
3. Being thoughtful.
4. Not being overconfident. And the flip side, trying to recognize and appreciate other points of view.

Me too!

And it doesn't end there! The CPS is down as well.
