Objective: Inverse probability weighting is a fundamental and general methodology for estimating the causal effects of exposures and interventions, but standard approaches to constructing such weights are often suboptimal. Methods: In this paper, we describe a recent approach for constructing such weights that directly balances covariates while optimizing the stability of the resulting weighting estimator. Results: To illustrate the use of this approach in mental health research, we present an exploratory study of the effects of exposure to violence on the risk of suicide attempt. Conclusions: The direct balancing approach to weighting should be given strong consideration in empirical research due to its robustness and transparency in building weighting estimators. (AU) | |
