Equifax is paying only about $4.75 per person it exposed to hackers and scammers. That’s the equivalent of an order of Chicken McNuggets.

@toddhwagner David Arterburn at KP has an R01 looking at the effect neighborhood characteristics on obesity related outcomes using migration as a source of exogenous variation (similar to what Amy Finkelstein has done). Not sure if they have papers yet: https://t.co/c0Ucc7MA7K

[Sam Edwards @samedwardsmd]

Great work from @HSREdwin @roslandam et al. "Identifying Latent Subgroups of High-Risk Patients Using Risk Score Trajectories." Two groups: moderate group's risk declines, while persistently high group's risk is stable. Can help targeting care mgt.
