Disclosure statement:
Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: Deborah Prothrow-Stith is qualified to be a moderator, presenter, faculty, panelist, discussant, author or respondent on the content that she is responsible for because she is a nationally recognized public health leader. As a physician working in inner-city hospitals and neighborhood clinics, she recognized violence as a significant public health issue. The typical medical response to patients injured by violence led to her examination of violence as a societal “disease” that could be prevented through implementing effective public health strategies. Appointed in 1987 as Commissioner of Public Health for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, she established the first Office of Violence Prevention in a state department of public health and expanded treatment programs for AIDS and drug rehabilitation. Dr. Prothrow-Stith currently serves as Associate Dean for Diversity and Henry Pickering Walcott Professor of Practice of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Prothrow-Stith, a Harvard Medical School graduate, has received ten honorary doctorates, the 1993 World Health Day Award, the 1989 Secretary of Health and Human Service Award, and an appointment to the National Commission on Crime Control and Prevention.
