- Richard Cabot, pair-matched random allocation, and the attempt to compare like with like in the social sciences and medicine. Part 2: the context of medicine and public health
The articles expand on the research of the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study, a delinquency prevention experiment embedded in a prospective longitudinal survey of the development of offending. These new articles explore the history of the study’s evaluation design and its influences from medicine and the social sciences.
Congratulations to Professor Brandon Welsh!
