Propensity score matching learning module: Dagli et al (2025), Psychological distress among stroke survivors in the US: An analysis of the National Health Interview Survey

Abstract

Educational Engagement Modules (EEMs) are teaching materials for educators and students that facilitate a deeper understanding of key epidemiological methods and concepts. Each EEM poses a series of questions using a recently published paper in Annals to further understanding of a specific study design and to encourage critical thinking and careful evaluation. This EEM focuses on the use of propensity score matching and multinomial models in a study exploring the association between experiencing a stroke and psychological distress and references the following article: Dagli C, Patel PG, Gonzalez K, Nair M, Al-Antary N, Lin C, Adjei Boakye E.
