This week we hear stories about putting rescue bots to the test after the Mexico earthquake, why a Scottish village was buried in sand during the Little Ice Age, and efforts by the U.S. military to predict posttraumatic stress disorder with Online News Editor David Grimm. Andrew Wagner interviews Alexandra Tinnermann of the University Medical Center of Hamburg, Germany, about the nocebo effect. Unlike the placebo effect, in which you get positive side effects with no treatment, in the nocebo effect you get negative side effects with no treatment. It turns out both nocebo and placebo effects get stronger with a drug perceived as more expensive. Read the research. Listen to previous podcasts. [Image: Chris Burns/Science; Music: Jeffrey Cook]

How do we identify great teachers and help all teachers improve their craft? The best option may be to combine student growth measures, observations of teachers in the classroom, and student surveys.

This Health Affairs article describes primary care delivery system reform models that were developed and tested over the past decade by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation—which was created by the Affordable Care Act—and reflect on key lessons and remaining challenges.

This study examines when nonexperiments might substitute for experiments that are done in real-world settings in order to learn what works to affect some socially valued outcome.

Poor nutrition and hand hygiene are risk factors for acute respiratory infections (ARIs). Safe drinking water and sanitation can reduce exposure to pathogens and encourage healthy immune responses, reducing the risk of ARIs.

This study describes a novel method to reweight a comparison group used for causal inference, so the group is similar to a treatment group on observable characteristics yet avoids highly variable weights that would limit statistical power.

Uninsured patients have decreased access to care, lower rates of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and worse outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
