Steven S. Coughlin received his MPH degree from San Diego State University in 1984 and his PhD from The Johns Hopkins University in 1987. Dr. Coughlin lives in the Washington, DC metropolitan area where he is a member of the Environmental Epidemiology Service at the Department of Veterans Affairs. He is an adjunct professor of epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. Previously he was a senior cancer epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and an associate professor of epidemiology and Director of the Program in Public Health Ethics at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans, LA. Dr. Coughlin is an Associate Editor of the American Journal of Epidemiology, and Editor-in-Chief of The Open Health Services and Policy Journal (www.bentham.org/open/tohspj/index.htm). He is the author or coauthor of more than 190 articles and the author or co-editor of several books including Ethics and Epidemiology (Oxford University Press, 1996, 2nd edition 2009), Case Studies in Public Health Ethics (American Public Health Association, 1997, 2nd edition 2009), A Message of Love, Hope, and Optimism for People Who Are Worried or Sick: From a Human Subjects Research Participant, The Principle of Equal Abundance (Xlibris, 2007), The Nature of Principles (Xlibris, 2008), and the first edition of Ethics in Epidemiology and Public Health Practice: Collected Works (Quill Publications, 1997, www.books.google.com). Dr. Coughlin's scientific accomplishments include completing the first two case-control studies and the first cohort mortality study of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Dr. Coughlin's innovative work in the early 1990's on ethics instruction in epidemiology and public health research helped pave the way for the model curricula on public health ethics developed by the Association of Schools of Public Health. Dr. Coughlin was chair of the writing group that drafted ethics guidelines for the American College of Epidemiology. Since 2004, Dr. Coughlin has been involved with an international humanitarian effort, coordinated by the Yvette Flunder Foundation, City of Refuge Church, in San Francisco, the Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland, California, and the Metropolitan Community Churches worldwide denomination to support children in Southern Africa who have been afflicted by or impacted by the AIDS pandemic. In addition, Dr. Coughlin is Founder and President of the Indio Center for Art, Religion, and United Societies (ICARUS), a non-profit organization that was incorporated in California in 2008 to provide life-changing and life-saving services to socioeconomically disadvantaged persons and artists in Mexico, Zimbabwe, the United States, and other countries (www.icarusonline.org).
