Work Hours, Fatigue, and Physical Health

A target trial emulation among 24,579 pre-retirement New Zealanders estimates the effects of increasing or decreasing weekly work hours by ten. The clearest evidence concerns fatigue, with additional estimates for sleep, body mass index, and perceived physical health.

Religious Attendance and Selective Gains in Well-being

A target trial emulation examines an intervention that makes monthly religious service attendance more probable among baseline non-attenders. Supported gains concentrate in meaning, forgiveness, and sexual satisfaction. Estimates for most physical-health outcomes and psychological distress are near zero.
