How does an article like this get published without summarizing the specific results or quantifying the drop?

Nothing more to say about variation arising from geography around the US, such as urban vs rural, high vs low education, by age, etc, etc. And have other developed countries seen similar shifts?

It's like the authors overheard a single sentence on the topic in a bar and decided to turn it into an entire article without looking into it any further.
