When assessing the causal effect of an exposure on two or more outcomes in an observational study, a linear combination of outcomes may lessen the sensitivity of a test of the global null hypothesis to potential unmeasured biases. While all linear combinations of scored outcomes can be considered using Scheffe projections or constrained variants thereof, finding the combination that minimizes sensitivity to unmeasured biases requires corrections for multiple testing, which can erode power, especially when many outcomes are of interest. To mitigate this issue, we propose splitting the sample into a planning sample to identify an optimal linear combination and an analysis sample to conduct inference. We provide a novel characterization of the set of linear combinations for which this approach is guaranteed to achieve the same asymptotic power as full-sample alternatives and conduct extensive simulation studies that demonstrate enhanced power in finite samples. Finally, we apply our method to investigate the effects of poverty on the emergence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in children and adolescents. We discover adverse consequences on outcomes related to body composition, physical activity, and tobacco exposure. Although the impact of poverty on elevated tobacco exposure shows some robustness to unmeasured confounding, the other findings remain sensitive to potential biases.
