Do people know which social interventions work just from hearing about them?
To do a test, we made the following game. We’ve described ten major US social interventions, and you’ll have to guess whether they had a positive effect, no effect or negative effect.
The interventions were taken from those reviewed by the Campbell Collaboration, which brings together all the highest-quality research that’s available on major social interventions to decide whether they’re effective or not. We chose the top ten interventions that were easiest to explain and had the clearest conclusions, so it’s clear what the answers are. There’s no trick!

If I wanted a news feed I would be on a news website. This does not belong in an open-thread.
make an account (of your own if you plan to keep posting in this way)
actually make comments; not just quoting the contents of links
start a link-thread if you must (edit: there is a media thread)
