Scholar Testimonials
The program has opened up a new research agenda for me on the politics of public health restrictions, such as those on alcohol, tobacco, drugs and fats. The RWJF Scholars in Health Policy Research program has helped me in several ways—most importantly, by giving me the time to learn about prohibition politics, which has become a key part of my book manuscript on parties and ideology.
