We also thank the following individuals for their review of this rapid expert consultation: Sarah Edelson, Human Ecology, Cornell University; Rachel K. Herlihy, Deputy Chief Medical Officer & State Epidemiologist, Colorado Department of Health & Environment; Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Elizabeth Ware Packard Professor of Communication and Walter and Leonore Annenberg Director, University of Pennsylvania; Grace M.

Although the reviewers listed above provided many constructive comments and suggestions, they were not asked to endorse the conclusions of this document, nor did they see the final draft before its release. The review of this document was overseen by Alicia L. Carriquiry, Department of Statistics, Iowa State University, and Robert A. Moffitt, Department of Economics, Johns Hopkins University. They were responsible for making certain that an independent examination of this rapid expert consultation was carried out in accordance with the standards of the National Academies and that all review comments were carefully considered. Responsibility for the final content rests entirely with the authors, and this document has been reviewed and approved for release by the National Academies.
