Editor's
Welcome
Welcome
to the third issue of the SPR Community. I am very
pleased with this issue since it builds on the themes
and success of the past issues. While we have not
been able to adhere to a stable submission schedule,
which I hope we will be able to iron out in the future,
I am sure that you will find the content of interest.
As we have done in the past, I have invited two of
the founding members of SPR, namely Gene Oetting and
Ralph Tarter to reminisce on the past and future of
Prevention Science. In addition, many discussions
in 2013 were centered on the Affordable Care Act and
what it will mean for Prevention. I feel fortunate
that Larry Cohen and Rob Waters from the Prevention
Institute were able to submit their perspective on
this.
As always, we welcome contributions from members who
wish to share the highlights of their experiences,
anecdotes and memories of the SPR annual meetings
and your reflections on SPR’s role in the development
of Prevention Science. We will publish them in the
Fall/Winter 2013 issue of SPR Community. Please send
your contributions to Hanno Petras, PhD, SPR Community
Editor at hpetras@jbsinternational.com. Please note
that due to space limitations, the Newsletter editor
reserves the right to edit copy that is received and
to omit submissions that are not directly concerned
with SPR annual meeting and activities.
I look forward to hearing from you as well as talking
with you at the annual meeting in San Francisco.
With best regards,
Hanno Petras, PhD
