The best part of #science is the #process. In this case, it was spending some years learning from my smarter, more creative colleague @vinisingh.bsky.social while on a truly meaningful question. The paper also benefitted from a caring editor, good refs + copyediting by @standarderror.bsky.social.

Alden’s paper is very impressive – it was a pleasure select it! Congratulations. I am curious to see in which journal it will land.

Our Best Paper Prize aims to bring innovative, policy-relevant scholarship by early career researchers to broader academic and public attention. Prizewinners receive a round of expert editing and consulting on a work in progress of their choice. 8/9

An implication is that strategically assigning patients to roommates who can support their care—instead of matching roommates on their cognitive status, the prevailing policy in many care facilities—can extend lives. 6/9

This Standard Error Best Paper prize recognizes the authors’ outstanding empirical work and the direct applicability of their findings for improving patients’ health outcomes. 7/9

View full thread

The effects are driven by patients who themselves have ADRD, who—when assigned a cognitively well roommate—show mortality declines of 3.4 pp relative to those assigned a roommate also affected by ADRD and of 1.4 pp relative to ADRD patients assigned no roommate at all. 4/9

Patients without ADRD, in contrast, show no mortality effects from sharing a room with a peer affected by ADRD. The authors argue that peers contribute to health outcomes in nursing homes by monitoring and giving behavioral support to their cognitively impaired roommates. 5/9

Their paper “Patient peer effects: Evidence from nursing home room assignments” finds large and significant effects of mortality from nursing home residents’ assignment to roommates with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). 2/9

Transactions on Machine Learning Research

Assignment to a roommate with ADRD increases 90-day mortality from its baseline level for patients assigned no roommate by 7%—over 1 pp. This effect on patients’ mortality is the same as that of receiving care from a provider with half of a standard deviation poorer quality. 3/9
