Dissemination of Research Findings

Description

In this blog post, I look at the complexities of observational epidemiology, especially in relation to behaviours and chronic pain. Through examining data from the UK Biobank, we discovered a notable correlation between alcohol consumption and reported chronic pain. This dissemination piece is aimed at both clarifying the findings and addressing common misconceptions surrounding epidemiological correlations, thereby fostering a deeper understanding among the general public and peers in the field.
