She also developed and evaluated a variety of media programs on smoking, alcohol use and HIV/AIDS prevention for adolescents as well as a video on treatment decisions for older women with breast cancer. She received awards for her media work from the National Educational Media Competition and the Partnership for Networked Consumer Health Information. Most recently she has focused on cultural and gender differences in how individuals with urologic symptoms seek help for their conditions, and has been evaluating a supported housing program in 11 areas across the country for the chronically homeless with multiple physical and mental disabilities.
