A new book co-edited by Elaine Wethington, professor of human
development and of sociology, and Rachel Dunifon, associate professor of
policy analysis and management, shows how translational research applies
to the social and behavioral sciences, with the potential to improve
education, disease prevention, health care access and delivery, and
more. Published May 15 by the American Psychological Association,
Research for the Public Good: Applying the Methods of Translational
Research to Improve Human Health and Well-Being promises to be a
valuable how-to for graduate students and early-career scientists
seeking to do translational research. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
