Impact of rurality and the area deprivation index on outcomes of collaborative care for depression
PURPOSE: The Collaborative care model (CoCM) is the leading model for integrating behavioral health into primary care for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, CoCM requires engagement and ongoing participation. We aimed to assess whether two area-based measures, the area-deprivation index (ADI) and rurality, were associated with enrollment, participation, and outcomes with CoCM. METHODS: This was an observational analysis of Ma…
Causal Inference, Agency, and the Problem of Inherent Endogeneity
Researchers often leverage exogenous variation in an independent variable in order to understand its effects, yet endogenous decision processes are central to many of the real-world phenomena we wish to understand. This review explores whether there are situations in which exogenous and endogenous variation in the same independent variable (e.g., a policy, treatment, or other action) may lead to different outcomes. I begin by laying out a concept…
Expanding Access to Social Support in Primary Care via Telemedicine
The coronavirus pandemic quickly exposed the need for efficient and widespread implementation of telehealth services. Additionally, it further unveiled the impact of social and environmental barriers to healthcare in underserved, rural populations. This in-practice pilot study tested the utility of a geographically centralized social worker providing services between a patient and a primary care provider via telecommunication at two high volume r…
Muscular Strength Spurts in Adolescent Male Basketball Players
Although successful performance in basketball requires high levels of muscular strength during adolescence, its development is confounded by the effects of normal growth. We examine the timing, intensity and sequence of muscular strength according to biological age (years from peak height velocity (PHV)) and hypothesize that young basketball players attain their peak muscular strength spurts around PHV. A total of 160 adolescent male basketballer…
When the Poetry No Longer Rhymes

An informal survey of 37 members of the Mayo Clinic Department of Psychiatry and Psychology, to de…
