Statement

---

Kate is a program manager within the National Farm Medicine Center. She assists Dr. Casper Bendixsen on his research projects, as well as serves as Principal Investigator on her own work. Several projects focus on farm and agricultural safety, but other projects focus on rural substance abuse. All Kate's work is tied together by a common methodological thread, however. Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR), general community involvement, and a focus on holistic community health drive all of her projects.
