She has been the lead on many successful interventions involving youth and adults, concerning multiple health problems and associated behaviors, and this has resulted in a framework based on science and achievement. Her clarity reflects this wealth of knowledge, and she gifts us with clear and cogent steps to making our communities healthier places. -- Cheryl L.
