Focus |
For the past twenty years a major portion of my worked has focused on tobacco control. Specifically in areas that have to do with involuntary exposure to second hand smoke (SHS). My work has focused both on attempts to measure second hand smoke exposure using biomarkers of exposure as well as on public policy issues related to SHS exposure. A particular interest has been the effects of SHS on workers.
In addition, I have worked on a range of policy issues related to public health policy including: Hepatitis C and environmental health policy and asthma.
More recently my interests have focused on issues related to risk communication in and around chaos public health events e.g. anthrax, West Nile Virus, avian flu. I am currently the Principal Investigator on an NIH funded research project that focuses on health literacy and informed consent in clinical research.
A long term interest continues to be aspects of health communication related to global health issues. I have been able to work with colleagues such as Dr. Jeffrey Griffiths on his curriculum co-development projects in East Africa and elsewhere.
