I'm saddened to learn about the passing of sociologist Jody Kretzmann, co-founder of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute. Jody was a talented community organizer in Chicago who strove to implement community-driven policies.

You can read co-founder John McKnight's note about Jody here: https://abcdinaction.org/john-l-mcknight/blog/380/our-brother-has-passed-on

@danluu This is part of the foundational theory of #MotivationalInterviewing. By listing reasons to leave it leads to them finding ways to resist it.

You are almost always better off just reflective listening and pointing out incongruence in values. Which is also how #union structured #ABCD conversations go.

Genetic and Environmental Variation in Continuous Phenotypes in the ABCD Study®

"...we use the twin data to: (i) provide initial estimates of heritability for the wide range of phenotypes assessed in the ABCD Study l...; and (ii) provide an online resource for researchers that can serve as a reference point for future behavior genetic studies of this publicly available dataset."

Now that #Flux2022 is over and everyone is getting back into the thick of data analysis, a reminder for friends using #ABCD data that this awesome question/answer forum exists: https://github.com/now-i-know-my-abcd/docs/discussions

Great work by Dr. Chun Chieh Fan and colleagues about biases due to population stratification in the #ABCD sample at #Flux2022 https://vimeo.com/743947651/dc5a9a010f#t=1h22m42s

Today on good idea, bad idea we examine some research using the #ABCD sample...
