Separating Biological and Choice Effects in Randomized Trials: Completing Causal Inference with β-Identification

2026-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Randomized controlled trials in preference-sensitive care yield attenuated or indeterminate estimates when crossover and nonadherence are present. In these settings, outcomes decompose into biological effects (which we denote α) and preference-mediated choice effects (β), but analysis remains α-centric and omits β as an estimand component. Formally incorporating β into the s...
