About the Author
Brian S. Katcher, Pharm.D., is the author of Prescription Drugs: An Indispensable Guide for People Over 50 and was one of the founding editors of Applied Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs, a textbook used in training clinical pharmacists. Dr. Katcher is the Public Health Pharmacist for the Community Health Promotion & Disease Prevention Branch of the San Francisco Department of Public Health and Associate Clinical Professor of Pharmacy at the University of California San Francisco.
His main work is in developing community-based, environmentally-focused primary prevention activities. Toward that end, he is interested in assessments of population health that will be useful to communities. He is a member of the San Francisco Burden of Disease & Injury Work Group, which is pioneering the first municipal application of the Harvard/WHO Global Burden of Disease approach toward assessments of population health. This group has recently completed an analysis of premature mortality in San Francisco and is currently working on a complementary assessment of morbidity.
His interest in promoting the most effective use of MEDLINE supports a larger vision of evidence-based health policy and practice.
