Pharmacists’ diaries reveal their infrequent yet regular encounters with medical dominance. They were generally unprepared to counter or negotiate it. This highlights the need for greater communication, conflict resolution, and #negotiationskills. https://t.co/UqjG6GsxGF

The confidence intervals for two means I'm comparing overlap, so they are statistically equivalent, right?

Not necessarily!

@f2harrell Glad you asked this question because
- many journals have banned the word "causal"
- many scientists practice a form of self-censorship: they replace the C-word by “association”, even when they are obviously trying to quantify causal effects.
