I have been eagerly awaiting the publication of this work for a very long time. The wait was so long that I even forgot to check the DOI link until recently.
Congratulations to Jeremy VanderDoes on his recent publication in Public Health!
This project was both unique and challenging. Due to data-sharing agreements, Jeremy did not have direct access to the dataset. Additionally, the vast dataset comprised millions of observations. Jeremy worked closely with the researcher who had access to the data to construct code that prevented server timeouts while exploring numerous potential models and stratifications. The team also had to anticipate all potential questions prior to submission, as the data would no longer be accessible during the review process.
When I initially assigned Jeremy to the project, I did not anticipate the layers of problems due to the data access limitations. I am relieved and proud that Jeremy persevered through this! Great work!
