In Denmark, new mothers are quasi-randomly assigned to mother groups by nurses.
This new paper shows that being assigned to a group with a depressed peer decreases mothers self-reported mental health + increases mental health care uptake.
Fascinating!

Beautiful and simple thread on different ways of visualizing the distribution of one variable.
Clear plots, beautiful examples.
Clear plots, beautiful examples.
The list is by no means exhaustive, HOPs, horizon charts and I'm sure other charts can be and have been used to show distributions. But attached is a handy one pager to summarize all the methods discussed here
