Amie Gianino, M.S., is the representative of Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI)
to the Global Violence Prevention Forum. Ms. Gianino, the senior global
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
of violent behavior. As the world’s largest brewer—and as the beer industry
leader in social responsibility—ABI is especially interested in the dialogue
surrounding the intersection of alcohol and violence. The company believes
that measures to change negative cultural norms relating to violence and
other risky behaviors are important goals. To this end, ABI has been sup-
porting social norms initiatives for more than 10 years in the United States
and Europe, with plans for further work in China and Latin America. ABI
has also supported the Alcohol Medical Scholars Program (AMSP) since
1997. The AMSP helps train physicians to teach others in the medical com-
munity how to better diagnose and treat issues of alcohol dependency. In
addition, ABI has supported domestic violence prevention initiatives.

for older persons and their concerns at the federal level. AoA’s vision for
older people, embodied in the OAA, is based on the value that dignity is
inherent to all individuals and the belief that older people should have the
opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of society and community life;
be able to maintain their health and independence; and be free from vio-
lence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. AoA works with its partners at the
federal, state, and community levels to help strengthen the nation’s capacity
to promote the dignity and independence of older people. AoA works to
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
OCR for page 172
172 SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC COSTS OF VIOLENCE
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.

recognition, referrals, resources, and follow-up for patients experiencing do-
mestic 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 ambulatory rather than the acute care
setting. The majority of identified patients receive follow-up mental health
services. KP also provides prevention, outreach, and domestic violence re-
sources for its workforce. Violence prevention is an important focus for KP
community benefit investments and research studies. The KP program, under
the leadership of Dr. McCaw, has received several national awards.

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 coauthor 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 the victims of violence.
Alcohol affects the person and behavior at many levels from the cell, to
the brain, to the individual 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 divisions and offices. She hopes to bring a broad
perspective on alcohol misuse to the identification of effective approaches
to global violence prevention.

Kristin Schubert, M.P.H., Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) pro-
gram officer, believes the Foundation is uniquely positioned to promote and
evaluate change in the health and well-being of the nation. She feels that
“RWJF has the ability to step in where government and others can’t go and
influence the way people live for the better.” Since joining RWJF in 2000,
Ms. Schubert has focused chiefly on improving the health and well-being
of vulnerable children, particularly adolescents, across a multitude of is-
sues and systems, such as violence and juvenile justice. She has created and
grown initiatives to prevent youth violence, promote better health services
within the juvenile justice system, and empower youth to advocate path-
ways for better health. She believes that the Foundation has played a vital
role in enabling youth and families to access opportunities in their commu-
nities to improve their health and well-being. Trained in public health and
health policy, Ms. Schubert’s work builds on the recognition of the critical
relationship between health and where a person lives, works, learns, and
plays and the tenet that health is a right, not a privilege. She currently serves
as the interim director of the RWJF Public Health Team and is a member of
the Vulnerable Populations portfolio. Previously, Ms. Schubert was a policy
analyst for the Centers for Disease Control–funded Prevention Research
Center. Her work focused on eliminating barriers to health among racial
