Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Among sexual minority individuals, bisexual+ (bi+) individuals tend to experience higher levels of suicidal ideation. Why? Leveraging a longitudinal exploratory mediation analysis, we aimed to provide initial evidence in hopes of motivating further research in this area

This survey is a vital resource for researchers and the public to track the prevalence and impact of drug use and mental health problems in the US. It's a VITAL database.

And it's just going to be gone. Devastating.

The entire National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) team at SAMHSA was terminated today.

Do not listen to the platitudes of this administration when they say they care about drug overdose, addiction, mental health, or suicide.
