Reply to People from the poorest backgrounds are far more likely to develop a mental disorder later in life than those from wealthier beginnings. More than half of people with a low educational attainment at age 30 will have a diagnosis of a mental disorder 22 years later by Wagamaga

That's with a diagnosis too. So in reality the difference is probably even larger.

They mention substance abuse; I imagine that along with general healthfulness, nutrition, sleep, stress etc are major factors.

Technology trends to only making it worse. In the advanced world, there is little need to stay bound to function. The center of global technology, San Francisco has people laying on a street having money, food and shelter brought to them. While they abuse drugs that are only getting stronger and cheaper.

Reply to comment by JKUAN108 in A study of NFL games during the 2020 season suggests a link between attendance and COVID spikes in surrounding counties 14 and 21 days later. The inferred connection held strongest for games attended by 20,000-plus fans by Wagamaga

You might be able to seperate the effects if you compared (days to spike) with (attendance as a percentage of capacity) and (attendance as a percentage of expected non-covid attendance)

You'd then have variables for both fan density at the game and relative fearlessness of the fanbase. With more data, maybe global data, and some transformations you could get better results.

Pull the crime report from whichever source you like. There was a 1 year old child, Amanda Negrete, at the residence Floyd invaded. Whether the mother was again pregnant is not listed, maybe my mistake. I will edit my first post to reflect single mother of one year old, rather than pregnant mother.

Exactly the article I saw, the top result on Google. The primary topics are Candace Owens, then a meme, then Floyd's arrests for minor offenses, then if you have read down 20 paragraphs they tell you he perpatrated an armed invasion of a single mother's home.

I would like to do a study on how well snopes, poltifact etc select extreme representations to paste false on, while minimizing foundational arguments on the same topic.

One of the more contentious examples is George Floyd's criminal history. Snopes etc will prominently label random memes as FALSE, but push foundational facts like Floyd's attack on a single mother of a one year old, into the minutia few will read.
