Margaret Kuklinski Elected to Washington State Academy of Sciences
The Washington State Academy of Sciences (WSAS) is a nonprofit organization established by the Washington State Legislature in 2005 to advise state policymakers on public policy issues involving science and technology. WSAS members are nationally recognized for their “outstanding record of scientific and technical achievement and willingness to assist the Academy in providing the best available scientific information and technical understanding to inform complex policy decisions in Washington.” New members are elected by current WSAS members or by their election to national science academies.
Margaret was recognized “for contributions to the economic assessment of prevention programs addressing substance abuse and mental health, and for advancing community-engaged research, and effective communication of findings to different audiences.” She is a social work endowed professor, and her expertise is at the intersection of prevention science and health economics. Her work promotes positive outcomes in young people and families through research, dissemination, and implementation of effective community-based and family-focused preventive interventions.
