Linkage To Outpatient Treatment In Inpatients With Alcohol Use Disorder Started On Naltrexone, Stephanie Stamatis

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Naltrexone is a full opioid antagonist approved for the treatment of alcohol use disorder that can effectively reduce alcohol consumption. There are few studies that study the impact of starting naltrexone for alcohol use disorder in the inpatient setting. We propose to compare rates of outpatient treatment follow-up for alcohol use disorder in hospitalized patients who are referred to treatment without initiating naltrexone versus those initiated on oral naltrexone or injectable naltrexone. Using an open-label, randomized clinical trial design, we will enroll 75 adults aged 18 to 55 with alcohol use disorder admitted to a general medicine inpatient service and …

Efficacy Of Psychotherapy-Supported Mdma In The Treatment Of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Danielle Dubois

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is a debilitating psychiatric disorder with no approved treatment options despite the high symptom burden and diminished quality of life. Randomized controlled trials have shown robust attenuation of posttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology using treatment with 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) plus psychotherapy, but individuals with complex traumatization have not been studied explicitly. Prior trials primarily utilized an inactive placebo group, undermining the interpretation of the results due to concern for unblinding of subjects. The proposed study is the first to utilize an active comparator to test a key hypothesis related to MDMA’s mechanism of action and to preserve blinding. …

Comparison Of Oral Carotene Supplementation And Oral Polypodium Leucotomas In Preventing Photodamage, Jazmin Martinez

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Skin exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiance is the major cause of skin disorders, such as sunburn and nonmelanoma cancer. The current standard of care for photoprotection is the daily use of sunscreen, although patient adherence and adequate application continues to be an issue. Current data show systemic photoprotection can be added to sunscreen use to reduce the risk of cutaneous diseases. This randomized controlled study will investigate whether supplementation with Polypodium leucotomas versus carotenoid supplementation versus the standard of care, provide increased photoprotection in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types II-IV. Outcomes will be measured by comparing the minimal erythema dose …

Panel Data Models With Time-Varying Latent Group Structures, Peter C. B. Phillips, Liangjun Su, Yiren Wang

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper considers a linear panel model with interactive fixed effects and unobserved individual and time heterogeneities that are captured by some latent group structures and an unknown structural break, respectively. To enhance realism the model may have different numbers of groups and/or different group memberships before and after the break. With the preliminary nuclear-norm-regularized estimation followed by row- and column-wise linear regressions, we estimate the break point based on the idea of binary segmentation and the latent group structures together with the number of groups before and after the break by sequential testing K-means algorithm simultaneously. It is shown …

Formalizing Dispute Resolution: Effects Of Village Courts In Bangladesh, Martin Mattsson, Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak

Discussion Papers

Disagreements over business deals, land boundaries, or loan non-repayment are very common sources of disputes, and courts are congested in developing countries. We evaluate the effects of the government introducing formal “village courts” (VCs) in rural Bangladesh using a randomized controlled trial with a pre-analysis plan. VCs were designed to improve dispute resolution and relieve the pressure on congested district courts. We find that VCs are more of a substitute for the ubiquitous informal dispute resolution mechanism (DRM) called shalish. VCs become functional and active in treated areas, but shalish remains the primary preferred DRM in both treatment and …

New Asymptotics Applied To Functional Coefficient Regression And Climate Sensitivity Analysis, Qiying Wang, Peter C. B. Phillips, Ying Wang

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A general asymptotic theory is established for sample cross moments of nonstationary time series, allowing for long range dependence and local unit roots. The theory provides a substantial extension of earlier results on nonparametric regression that include near-cointegrated nonparametric regression as well as spurious nonparametric regression. Many new models are covered by the limit theory, among which are functional coefficient regressions in which both regressors and the functional covariate are nonstationary. Simulations show finite sample performance matching well with the asymptotic theory and having broad relevance to applications, while revealing how dual nonstationarity in regressors and covariates raises sensitivity to …

A Race Against Death: Renwu Magazine’S Exposé On The Working Conditions Of Chinese Food-Delivery Drivers, William James Mccormack

Student Work

Forty pages long with an eleven-page bibliography that shows wide reading in Chinese and English, William McCormack’s essay, “A Race Against Death: Renwu Magazine’s Exposé on the Working Conditions of Chinese Food-Delivery Drivers,” reads beautifully and proceeds in a clear, logical progression.

In its pages, the author offers a close reading of a 22,000-character article on the working conditions of food delivery drivers from Renwu magazine. McCormack’s analysis of a key source for the Renwu investigation, Sun Ping, a Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) official, displays his ability to ask probing questions. The author of the Renwu article, …

Organizational Structure And Pricing: Evidence From A Large U.S. Airline, Ali Hortaçsu, Olivia R. Natan, Hayden Parsley, Timothy Schwieg, Kevin R. Williams

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Firms facing complex objectives often decompose the problems they face, delegating different parts of the decision to distinct sub-units. Using comprehen-sive data and internal models from a large U.S. airline, we establish that airline pricing is not well approximated by a model of the firm as a unitary decision-maker. We show that observed prices, however, can be rationalized by account-ing for organizational structure and the decisions by departments that are tasked with supplying inputs to the observed pricing heuristic. Simulating the prices the firm would charge if it were a rational unitary decision-maker results in lower welfare than we estimate …

Demand Estimation With Infrequent Purchases And Small Market Sizes, Ali Hortaçsu, Olivia R. Natan, Hayden Parsley, Timothy Schwieg, Kevin R. Williams

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We propose a demand estimation method that allows for a large number of zero sale observations, rich unobserved heterogeneity, and endogenous prices. We do so by modeling small market sizes through Poisson arrivals. Each of these arriving consumers solves a standard discrete choice problem. We present a Bayesian IV estimation approach that addresses sampling error in product shares and scales well to rich data environments. The data requirements are traditional market-level data as well as a measure of market sizes or consumer arrivals. After presenting simulation studies, we demonstrate the method in an empirical application of air travel demand.
