What is it about?
Economic analysis depends on good assumptions and exclusion restrictions. These exclusion restrictions and assumptions depend on deductive reasoning and defensibility. Using alcohol addiction as an example, this study makes the best of population health observational study and randomized clinical trial findings to operationalize assumptions and exclusion restrictions.

Why is it important?
This approach is important because it allows scientists to leverage insights from clinical studies or laboratory experiments and operationalize them in observational studies.
Perspectives
It is my aspiration that readers find this article and the approach I have taken interesting and meaningful. I did not have opportunities to conduct clinical trials but had the pleasure of learning about the neuroscience of addiction. I wanted to make this accessible to a wide audience using obervational population health data because alcohol misuse can be prevented. Furthermore, preventing alcohol addiction can benefit the individual, family, and society at large. This said, this interdisciplinary approach I hope sparks further interest for other pressing health topics.
