When considering observer moments, as in analysis of immune neglect, I suspect chronic pain shoots to the top pretty fast. My guess is that testing mental health Interventions along with a gold standard checklist of intervention strategies would be a potential top charity.
This could be true, but needs much more analysis. I’ve spoken about increasing opiates for pain relief elsewhere (e.g. my EAG 2017 talk, forum posts here on drug policy reform). It’s not easy to compare systemic change—which is what opiate reform would be—to micro-interventions in general. Also I’m not aware of there being any data on the badness of chronic pain on a 1-10 LS scale to be able to make comparisons anyway.
