Patricia Seppanen served as the principal investigator, providing general direction and oversight. This report was written by (in alphabetical order) Carol Freeman, Tina Kruse, Jane Schleisman, Patricia Seppanen, and Robin Stubblefield. In particular, we wish to acknowledge other members of the study team who played invaluable roles. Two colleagues, Lynne Havsy and Gayle Zoffer, participated in the design of the study, data collection, and data analysis, but left for other positions before the report was written. Nancy Brigham, Sue McCormick, Sheila Marcus, and Sheila Rosenblum played key roles in arranging and conducting focus groups across the country, data analysis, and assisting in the interpretation of the findings.
