Associate Professor-in-Residence Stella Bialous, RN, DrPH, FAAN, is a co-author on a paper that demonstrates that the tobacco industry manipulated the children’s rights agency, UNICEF, for more than a dozen years, during which UNICEF reduced its focus on children’s rights to a tobacco-free life. The paper, published in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, is based in part on documents that UCSF researchers uncovered
from the Truth Tobacco Industry Documents online library, which is housed at UCSF. Yvette van der Eijk, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at the UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education (CTCRE), is the paper’s first author, and Stanton Glantz, PhD, professor of medicine and director of CTCRE, is a co-author.
