Exploring the Effect of Exposure to Short-Term Solitary Confinement Among Violent Prison Inmates (2016, background): “…is appropriate for the study of the SC effect because it is well suited for situations where randomization not feasible, but where the process of assignment to a treatment can be modeled via observed variables that are likely to confound the probability of exposure to the treatment (Holmes 2014).”
Student Involvement in Ethnic Student Organizations: Examining Civic Outcomes 6 Years After Graduation (2015, methodology): “PSM is one quasi-experimental approach designed to address self-selection into experiences (Guo and Fraser 2010; Holmes 2013).”
Are Black Children Disproportionately Overrepresented in Special Education? A Best-Evidence Synthesis (2017, methodology): “An alternative when random assignment is not possible is a statistical method such as regression analysis to account for potential confounders (Holmes, 2013; S. L. Morgan & Winship, 2007).”
