Health-promoting behaviors are associated with lower depression and anxiety in Ecuadorian medical residents: A cross-sectional study
Introduction Mental health problems, hazardous drinking, and unhealthy behaviors are global concerns among medical residents, particularly in resource-limited regions such as Latin America. Long hours, heavy workloads, and stigma increase the risk of depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. This study assessed the prevalence of mental health symptoms, alcohol use, and health behaviors among residents in Ecuador. Methods A cross-sectional online…
Expanding Your Vocabulary: A Framework for Topic Integration in Texts
Topic discovery and integration are vital for maintaining vocabularies that categorize textual corpora. Automated approaches are often computationally expensive and lack domain-specific conceptual nuance; manual approaches are costly in terms of time and potential bias. To address this dilemma, we introduce the segments-as-topic (SAT) methodology, a four-stage process that combines automation and human expertise to assess candidate topics for voc…
Survey Quality and Acquiescence Bias: A Cautionary Tale
In this note, we offer a cautionary tale on the dangers of drawing inferences from low-quality online survey datasets. We reanalyze and replicate a survey experiment studying the effect of acquiescence bias on estimates of conspiratorial beliefs and political misinformation. Correcting a minor data coding error yields a puzzling result: respondents with a postgraduate education appear to be the most prone to acquiescence bias. We conduct two prer…
The Case for Democratic Patients: Epistemic Democracy Goes Green
In mainstream democratic theory, non-agents are only considered indirectly: their interests matter if and only if a group of agents cares about them. In this paper, I argue that democratic patients, non-agents whose interests are affected by democratic decisions, have a place of their own in democratic theory. That is, they are entitled to the fair consideration of their interests in the democratic decision-making process. I defend the case for d…
