I regret to inform everyone word has been received that Dr. Alan Marlatt, one of the leading pioneers in brief alcohol screening and assessment in college students and motivational interviewing, passed away this week. A very nice tribute was written in the Seattle times. This article can be found at: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014528623_marlattobit18m.html.
I hope that many of you will join me in taking time keep keeping Dr. Marlatt’s family and collegues in your thoughts and prayers, as well as taking some time reflect how Dr. Marlatt’s contributions have greatly impacted the field of college alcohol and health promotion.
Eric S. Davidson
