We are delighted to share with you our October blog post “Up on the Watershed” from Guest Author, Dr. Kathleen Ethier. Here’s more about Kathleen: Kathleen’s purpose – whether in government, academia or now in the private sector – has always been to make sure that young people, their families, and communities are engaged and sustained with the resources they need to support their health and well-being. As a social psychologist retired from federal service after 25 years at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kathleen has focused on psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental factors related to adolescent mental and physical health. Prior to joining CDC, she spent six years on the research faculty at Yale University studying HIV, STDs, and unplanned pregnancy prevention among women and adolescents. She spent her first years at CDC as the lead senior scientist on adolescent health issues in the Division of STD Prevention, her middle 8 years in the CDC Office of the Director, as the director of the Program, Performance, and Evaluation Office, and her last 8 years as the director of the Division of Adolescent and School Health. In each of those roles, she focused on the intersection of data, research, and effective programs, looking to strengthen and increase impact.
We think you’ll find Kathleen’s thoughts particularly insightful as we certainly did. Thank you, Kathleen, for sharing your words of wisdom. You can read “Up on the Watershed” HERE.
