Modafinil’s effects on cognition and sleep quality in affectively-stable patients with bipolar disorder
ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT01965925
Results Blind Science Publishing and a Decision-Theoretic Approach to Publishing
In this paper, I revisit my earlier proposal for Results Blind Publishing (RBP) and have added some new perspectives and qualifications regarding it. RBP is a suggestion that research journals decide on publication of submitted manuscripts based on reviewing only their Introduction section (which suggests the substantive importance of the research question addressed by the study) and Methods section (which suggests how likely the study validly an…
Randomised controlled trials – the gold standard for effectiveness research
RCTs are prospective studies that measure the effectiveness of interventions. Although no study is likely on its own to prove causality, randomisation reduces bias and provides a rigorous tool to examine cause–effect relationships between an intervention and outcome. This is because the act of randomisation in a large study balances participant characteristics (both observed and unobserved) between the groups, allowing attribution of any differen…
Adolescents’ use of the built environment for physical activity
Adolescents were more likely to engage in physical activity, and achieved their highest physical activity levels, when using built environments located outdoors. Novel objective methods for determining physical activity can provide insight into adolescents' spatial physical activity patterns, which could help guide physical activity interventions. Promoting zoning and health policies that encourage the design and regular use of outdoor spaces may…
A Re-Analysis of "Lord's Paradox"
"Lord's Paradox" is a term applied to a hypothetical situation illustrated by Frederic M. Lord in which Gain Score Analysis (GSA) and the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) yield conflicting results in testing differential treatment effects for natural groups. This paper demonstrates that GSA and ANCOVA will always yield conflicting results unless the slopes of within group regression lines of posttest on pretest equal one. It is also pointed out th…
The Cross-Lagged Correlation Technique
The cross-lagged correlation technique (CLC) for assessing causality from passive observational data has been the subject of much recent criticism. CLC compares cross correlations between variables across time points of measurement and attributes differences in correlations to causal effects. Some of the major areas of criticism have to do with: (a) lack of a no-cause baseline, (b) spurious effects of mediating variables, and (c) obscuring effect…
