Congratulations to Dr. Jalie Tucker, professor and chair of HHP’s Department of Health Education and Behavior, on receiving the Betty Ford Award from the Association for Medical Education and Research in Substance Abuse. The award recognizes those who made a significant impact on the field of substance abuse, particularly with regard to women’s issues. Dr. Tucker has led the adoption of a public health approach to substance use disorders (SUDs) and has extensively studied help-seeking and natural recovery without treatment. Going beyond the clinical arena is important because most people with SUDs, particularly women, never enter treatment.
