Abstract:
... Conflicts between humans and mammalian predators are globally widespread and increasing, creating a long‐lasting challenge for conservation and local livelihoods. Protection interventions, which are essential to conflict mitigation, should be based on solid evidence of effectiveness produced by robust study designs. Yet, it is unclear what study designs have been used in predator‐targeted interven ...

Abstract:
... In response to the detrimental health- and environmental impacts of European consumers' dietary patterns, Nutri-Scores and Eco-Scores have been introduced on packages as guidance for choices. Whereas the scores are promising to improve food choices from a nutritional point of view, the scant available literature suggests very limited effects on the environmental impact of food choices. Therefore, ...

Abstract:
... In time-to-event settings, the presence of competing events complicates the definition of causal effects. Here we propose the new separable effects to study the causal effect of a treatment on an event of interest. The separable direct effect is the treatment effect on the event of interest not mediated by its effect on the competing event. The separable indirect effect is the treatment effect on ...

Abstract:
... Balancing important covariates is often critical in clinical trials and causal inference. Stratified permuted block (STR-PB) and covariate-adaptive randomization (CAR) procedures are widely used to balance observed covariates in practice. The balance properties of these procedures with respect to the observed covariates have been well studied. However, it has been questioned whether these methods ...

Abstract:
... High automaticity in healthy nutrition behaviors is related to long-term maintenance of these behaviors. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks of habit formation, proposed antecedents such as intrinsic reward, anticipated regret, and self-efficacy are important correlates of automaticity, but not much is known about their day-by-day relationships with automaticity in healthy nutrition behaviors.
