I feel like psychometrics is uniquely bad at naming things. Parallel, congeneric, tau-equivalent, essentially tau-equivalent measures? Configural, metric, scalar, residual invariance? Item difficulty defined so that the higher the difficulty, the easier the item???

The decline in cancer mortality is about much more than smoking. We shouldn't minimize the very real impact of many contributors — including improvements in diagnosis, medical and surgical innovation, vaccination against cancers, and more — to the reduction in cancer death rates.

I respond to the claim that the decline in cancer mortality is mostly, or almost entirely, because of the decline in smoking.

43% of participants didn't use the app *at all*. Only 22% even completed 4 of the 7 modules.
This is also not new. Lots of other trials also show us, using quant and qual data, that adolescents don't much like universal interventions, and don't do the tasks/homework (I can share refs if helpful)
