director for the company’s Better World efforts, began her career with the
company in 1989. Evidence suggests that cultural factors play a strong
role in determining whether and how violence manifests in a country’s
population. Individual factors, such as personality type, are also important
predictors of violent behavior. Still, some posit that alcohol may be a cause

Kathy Greenlee, J.D., was appointed by President Obama as the fourth
assistant secretary for aging at the Administration on Aging (AoA) within
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and confirmed by the
Senate in June 2009. Ms. Greenlee brings more than 10 years of experience

stimulate programmatic and policy activity at the national, state, and local
levels in order to advance the work of eliminating violence against older
adults and elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation in the United States as well
as with international organizations and researchers around the world. By
doing so, AoA seeks to address the social, economic, and health impacts
of violence against older adults and elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

L. Rowell Huesmann, Ph.D., M.S., is the Amos N. Tversky Collegiate Pro-
fessor of Psychology and Communication Studies and director of the Re-
search Center for Group Dynamics at the University of Michigan’s Institute
for Social Research. He is also editor of the journal Aggressive Behavior
and past president of the International Society for Research on Aggres-
sion. His research over the past 40 years has focused on the psychological
foundations of aggressive and violent behavior and on how predisposing
personal factors interact with precipitating situational factors to engender
violent behavior. This research has included several life span longitudinal
studies showing how the roots of aggressive behavior are often established
in childhood. One particular interest has been investigating how children
learn through imitation and how children’s exposure to violence in the
family, schools, community, and mass media stimulates the development
of their own aggressive and violent behavior over time. He has conducted
longitudinal studies on the effects of exposure to violence at multiple sites in
the United States as well as in Finland, Poland, Israel, and Palestine. These
studies have shown that simply seeing a lot of violence (political violence,
family violence, community violence, media violence) in childhood changes
children’s thinking and perceptions and increases the risk of interpersonal
aggressive behavior later in life. He has also conducted research showing
that interventions that change children’s beliefs about the appropriateness
of conflict and aggression can be effective in preventing aggression. In 2005
Dr. Huesmann was the recipient of the American Psychological Associa-
tion’s award for distinguished lifetime contributions to media psychology.

Brigid McCaw, M.D., M.S., M.P.H., FACP, is medical director for the Fam-
ily Violence Prevention Program at Kaiser Permanente (KP). Her teaching,
research, and publications focus on developing a health systems response
to intimate partner violence and the impact of intimate partner violence on
health status and mental health. She is a fellow of the American College
of Physicians. Kaiser Permanente, a large nonprofit integrated health care
organization serving 8.6 million members in nine states and the District
of Columbia, has implemented one of the most comprehensive health care
responses to domestic violence in the United States. The nationally rec-
ognized “systems model” approach is available across the continuum of
care, including outpatient, emergency, and inpatient care; advice and call
centers; and chronic care programs. The electronic medical record includes
clinician tools to facilitate recognition, referrals, resources, and follow-up
for patients experiencing domestic violence and provides data for quality
improvement measures. Over the past decade, identification of domestic
violence has increased fivefold, with most members identified in the ambu-
latory rather than acute-care settings. The majority of identified patients
receive follow-up mental health services. Kaiser Permanente also provides
prevention, outreach, and domestic violence resources for its workforce.

James A. Mercy, Ph.D., is special advisor for strategic directions at the Divi-
sion of Violence Prevention in the National Center for Injury Prevention and
Control of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). He began
working at CDC in a newly formed activity to examine violence as a public
health problem and, over the past two decades, has helped to develop the
public health approach to violence and has conducted and overseen numer-
ous studies of the epidemiology of youth suicide, family violence, homicide,
and firearm injuries. Dr. Mercy also served as a co-editor of the World Report
on Violence and Health prepared by the World Health Organization and
served on the editorial board of the United Nation’s Secretary General’s Study
of Violence Against Children. Most recently he’s been working on a global
partnership with UNICEF, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief,

His recent publications include “Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder,
Conduct Disorder, and Young Adult Intimate Partner Violence” (Archives of
General Psychiatry, 2010) and “Sexual Violence and Its Health Consequences
for Female Children in Swaziland: A Cluster Survey Study” (Lancet, 2009).
Peggy Murray, Ph.D., M.S.W., is senior advisor for the Institute on Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism (IAAA) at the National Institutes of Health and is
responsible for the institute’s research translation initiatives in health pro-
fessions education. She also serves as an adjunct professor at the Catholic
University School of Social Work. She is co-author of A Medical Educa-
tion Model for the Prevention and Treatment of Alcohol-Use Disorders, a
20-module curriculum and faculty development course for medical school
faculty in the primary-care specialties. The model has been translated into
five languages and implemented in eight countries to date. The relationship
of alcohol misuse to aggressive behavior and violence is a complex one, and
research has shown that this relationship is more than associative. In addition
to alcohol misuse promoting aggressive behavior, victimization as a result
of violence can lead to excessive alcohol consumption. Strategies to prevent
violence must take this into account and, to be effective, must deal with the
alcohol use of both the perpetrators and victims of violence. Alcohol affects
the brain and behavior at many levels from the cell to the brain to the in-
dividual as a whole, to particular neighborhoods and micro cultures, to the
global society. For more than 20 years, Dr. Murray has worked at the IAAA
in positions that have led to collaboration with scientists across all of its divi-
sions and offices. She hopes to bring a broad perspective on alcohol misuse
to the identification of effective approaches to global violence prevention.
