Promoting Health

---

Participating in the development of this Institute of Medicine report has been of special importance to me. I have worked for over 40 years to identify social and behavioral factors that could be useful in improving health and wellbeing and it is especially satisfying to now work with colleagues to assess the progress that has been made in this effort. My first exposure to this field took place in 1957 when I entered the first graduate training program at Yale University in what was then called Medical Sociology. The Commonwealth Fund supported four students in that first class. Other people were already at work on these issues, notably David Mechanic who was a member of the committee for this report, but the program at Yale was the first, formal institutionalized recognition of the existence of the field.
