Dr. Rosenberg is a member of the Institute of Medicine. James A. Mercy, Ph.D. (Vice-Chair), is the special adviser for strategic directions of the Division of Violence Prevention in the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control of the CDC. He received his Ph.D. in sociology from Emory University in Atlanta in 1982. After his graduation, Dr. Mercy began working at CDC in a newly formed activity to examine violence as a public health problem. Over the past two decades he has played a fundamental role in developing the public health approach to violence. He has conducted and overseen numerous studies of the epide- miology of youth suicide, family violence, homicide, and firearm injuries. He also served as a coeditor of the WHO World Report on Violence and Health. Most recently, he served on the editorial board of the United Nation’s Secretary-General’s Study of Violence Against Children. Sir George A.O. Alleyne, M.D., is a native of Barbados. He obtained his bachelor of medicine and surgery degree from the University of London in 1957 and his M.D. from the same university in 1965. He began a career in academic medicine in 1962 at the University of the West Indies and was appointed professor of medicine in 1972. Dr. Alleyne has served as a member of various bodies, including the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tropical Disease Research Program, and the Institute of Medicine Committee on Scientific Investigation in Developing Countries.

Dr. Alleyne joined the PAHO staff in 1981 as chief of research promotion and coordination. In 1983 he became director of health programs development, and in 1990 he became assistant director of the organization. In 1995, Dr. Alleyne began his first term as director of the Pan American Health Organization. Equity and Pan Americanism are principles that resonate throughout Dr. Alleyne’s work and writings, and guide the execution of the PAHO’s regional pro- gramming, reflecting a persistent search to achieve the goal of health for all. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II made him knight bachelor in 1990 for his services to medicine. In 2001, Sir George Alleyne was awarded the Order of the Caribbean Community, the highest honor that can be conferred on a Caribbean national. He ended his second four-year term as director of PAHO in 2003.

APPENDIX D 249 Robert Alexander Butchart, M.A., Ph.D., is the prevention of violence coordinator in WHO’s Department of Injuries and Violence Prevention. His main task is to implement the recommendations of the World Report on Violence and Health. This involves the development of technical guidelines, policy papers, and research that can be used to support applied prevention programs and advocate for increased investment in violence prevention. Specific projects include country-level violence prevention demonstration programs, the systematic documentation of violence prevention programs, and research into the economic dimensions of interpersonal violence, including the costs of its consequences and the cost-effectiveness of preven- tive programs. After receiving his master’s degree in clinical psychology in 1986, he worked in Johannesburg, South Africa, as coordinator of a brain injury assessment and rehabilitation clinic and in 1989 helped conduct the first epidemiological study of non-fatal injuries in that city.

APPENDIX D 251 government staff assigned to 50 countries, and 1,500 locally hired staff and contractors. He provides programmatic and financial oversight for the Global AIDS Program; global immunization and disease eradication activities; malaria, tuberculosis, and tobacco control efforts; and inter­ national training programs. Dr. Blount is the lead strategist for CDC’s global activities and manages key partnerships with ministries of health, other U.S. govern­ment agencies, UN organizations, the World Bank, private foundations, multinational corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and academic institutions. As the first director of the Office for Global Health in 1997, Dr. Blount led the development of CDC’s global health strategy, including goals, objectives, priority program areas, and perfor- mance measures. Since 2003, as part of the first agency-wide transforma- tion of CDC’s structure since 1980, Dr. Blount has led the reorganization of its international activities to better align human, technical, and financial resources with the agency’s goals and priorities and to improve global busi- ness services. After training in family medicine and public health, Dr. Blount served as the director of epidemiology at the Detroit Health Department before joining CDC. From 1993 to 1997, he was assigned to the World Health Organisation and worked at the Caribbean Epidemiology Center in Trinidad, where he served as director.

Caine, M.D., joined the faculty of the University of Rochester in 1978, following medical school at Harvard, residency training at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center and the National Institute of Mental Health, and further postdoctoral research at NIMH. During college and

252 APPENDIX D medical school, his interests focused primarily on substance abuse treat- ment, suicide, and end-of-life issues. The first two were tied specifically to fundamental concerns about public health, prevention, and public policy development. As he progressed through medical school and his psychiatry residency, Dr. Caine focused on the relationships between organized brain functioning and behavioral disorders; in addition to the standard residency he pursued additional training in neuropsychology and neurology as a means of fostering interests in “neuropsychiatry.” His research initially dealt with Huntington’s disease and Tourette’s syndrome and, to a lesser extent, Alzheimer’s disease. Suicide research and prevention gradually have become the focal points during the last 15 years both for investigation and for national and international consultation. His greatest personal career rewards in medicine, in addition to those related to patient care, have come from supporting this developmental process and seeing several generations of faculty emerge in their own right as outstanding researchers, educators, and clinicians. Presently Dr. Caine directs five NIH grants—among them, “The Developing Center for Public Health and Population Interventions for the Prevention of Suicide” (“PHP-Center,” NIMH/NIDA P20); “China- Rochester Suicide Research Training ICOHRTA” (NIH Fogarty Interna- tional Center D43); and “China Collaborative Suicide Research Training Program” (CCSRT; NIH Fogarty International Center D43).

Prior to this, Mr. Court served as director of the UNICEF Supply Division in Copenhagen, where he was credited with turning the division’s function into an innovative and ­cutting- edge one that provides essential commodities and services to govern­ments through a mix of programs and procurement services that directly impact program implementation as well as delivery performance, especially in humanitarian emergencies. Before serving at these two headquarters loca- tions, Mr. Court had a long and distinguished career in the field where, from August 1998 to December 2000, he was the UNICEF country rep- resentative in India. Beforehand, he served as deputy regional director of the Americas and Caribbean region in Bogotá, Colombia, after having served as UNICEF representative in Bolivia from 1993 to 1995.
