The chief researcher for the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Jane Maxwell of Austin, will speak to 14 Kansas researchers and practitioners at noon Friday, April 30, at the Adams Alumni Center at the University of Kansas.
Epidemiology studies the cause and control of epidemics.
No one knows the costs to Kansans. Gordon said the Kansas epidemiology group is new but is patterned after community groups established in 1976 by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Funding for the group is through the Multicultural Leadership Center. This is our first meeting. We will conduct monthly or bimonthly seminars around the state.
