Interesting, but the sample size discussed is very very small - 204 households - and, as the researcher notes, there are many confounding variables to consider. To me, this does not at all suggest that a change of public policy is warranted at this time, but it would definitely be interesting to see more research.
Problem is that any source of data will have the same quality issues. Not alleging general propaganda, but I guess it always tends to confirm the initial suspicions of researchers as the data can be molded either way.
