Brian Houle has Four Recent Publications

CSDE Fellow Brian Houle co-authored four peer-reviewed articles during the last academic year. Perhaps as impressive as the number of publications is the range of the topics, including the public health implications of smoker-free employment policies, state trends in obesity, and evaluations of prescription monitoring programs to manage pain relief, and workplace nutrition programs. The publications are:

• Cousineau, Tara, Brian Houle, et al. 2008. "A Pilot Study of an Online Workplace Nutrition Program: The value of participant input in program development." Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior 40(3):160-7.
• Katz, Nathaniel, Brian Houle, et al. 2008. "Update on Prescription Monitoring in Clinical Practice: A Survey Study of Prescription Monitoring Program Administrators." Pain Medicine 9(5):587-594.
• Houle, Brian, James Holt, et al. 2009. "Using Density-Equalizing Cartograms to Visualize Trends and Disparities in the State-Specific Prevalence of Obesity - United States, 1996 - 2006." American Journal of Public Health 99(2):308-312.
• Houle, Brian and Michael Siegel. "Smoker-Free Workplace Policies: Developing a Model of Public Health Consequences of Workplace Policies Barring Employment to Smokers." Tobacco Control. (In press)
