Causal inference with observational data is challenging, as the assignment to treatment is often not random and people may have different reasons to receive or to be assigned to the treatment. Moreover, the an...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Multilevel latent class analysis and mixture propensity score models have been implemented to account for heterogeneous selection mechanisms and for proper causal inference with observational multilevel data (...
Article
Overdoses due to non-medical use of prescription opioids and other opiates have become the leading cause of accidental deaths in the USA. Buprenorphine and extended-release naltrexone are key evidence-based ph...
