<span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Address the role of statistical methods in identifying meaningful effects in large neuro-behavioral samples, administrative data, or social media sources. While effects may be statistically
significant in large samples, they may only account for a small proportion of the variance, and the opposite is also true. In addition, estimating causal effects to inform services interventions will still be challenged by confounding and other factors. One
objective of this workshop is to identify best practices for evaluating and interpreting meaningful effects in mental health research.</span><o:p></o:p></li></ol>
