Associate Professor and MPH Director Don Warne had commentary published  in the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. Dr. Warne's commentary was titled Investing in Native Community-Led Strategies to Improve Physical Activity.  The commentary reviewed the risk factors of many of the preventable diseases affecting Native Americans.
