We want to help you! Getting scientific facts and credible, expert opinions in public health can be challenging under the best of circumstances-- tougher still under deadlines. We understand that anyone doing a story-- whether a blogger, newspaper writer or radio/television producer-- is doing more with less. Our experts can help with most hot news topics. Here are some of our areas of special expertise:

•          Infectious diseases, including AIDS, SARS, noroviruses and emerging infections
•          Environmental issues from air quality to water, sanitation, and health to global warming
•          Cancer causes and prevention
•          Health reform, health insurance and other health services topics
•          Health disparities, health of women and children, family violence

We are committed to solve problems now and then translate research into programs, practices and policies that improve lives.

 

We are a credible, reliable information source on many issues. Our communications group, led by Ramona DuBose, is a good place to start.

 

REACH NC is a faculty database that can be searched by topic or individual and will lead you to faculty bios and links to their articles.

We look forward to working with you.
