Anne Hartman
Anne M. Hartman, MS, a Biostatistician, has served in the Risk Factor
Monitoring and Methods Branch of the Applied Research Program since its
inception in 1997. Her recent work has focused on cancer risk factor tobacco
control and sun protective behaviors/artificial UV exposure surveillance, using
various national and state surveys to track long-term trends in cancer control
progress (e.g., NCI's Cancer Trends Progress Report); creating summary indices
of state tobacco control policy, smokers' level of tobacco addiction, smoking
cessation, children's exposure to secondhand smoke, sun protection behaviors,
and dietary patterns; and evaluation of non-randomized tobacco control
intervention studies (e.g., ASSIST). Beginning in 1991, Ms. Hartman has been
directing a series of Tobacco Use Supplements (TUS) to the Labor Statistics and
Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS). TUS-CPS provides
valuable state-specific public-use information on 240,000 individuals.
Previously (1982 - 1997), in NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control
(now DCP), her early leadership role co-directing major chemoprevention trials
(e.g., Finland-U.S. ATBC Study and ISO-BCC Skin Cancer Prevention Trial)
involved planning size and scope, developing and testing dietary and sun
exposure assessment instruments, and evaluating study results often utilizing
new analytic techniques and interpretation in light of measurement error. Her
1982 Georgetown University (GU) biostatistics M.S. involved developing methods
for creating food frequency questionnaires measuring nutrient sources relevant
to cancer prevention for NCI's DCEG (formerly DCCP). She worked at GU, Johns
Hopkins University (JHU), and University of Maryland Medical Schools after
receiving her 1978 JHU Biology MA on an NIH scholarship. She received her 1973
Biology BS from SUNY at Stony Brook. She has co-authored more than 60
publications/book chapters, has served on Steering Committees and Expert Panels
of national and international studies, and earned three NIH Merit Awards.
