Anne Hartman
Anne M. Hartman, MS, a Biostatistician, has served in the Risk Factor Monitoring and
Methods Branch of the Applied Research Program since its inception in 1997. Her recent
work has focused on cancer risk factor tobacco control and sun protective
behaviors/artificial UV exposure surveillance, using various national and state surveys to
track long-term trends in cancer control progress (e.g., NCI's Cancer Trends Progress
Report); creating summary indices of state tobacco control policy, smokers' level of
tobacco addiction, smoking cessation, children's exposure to secondhand smoke, sun
protection behaviors, and dietary patterns; and evaluation of non-randomized tobacco
control intervention studies (e.g., ASSIST). Beginning in 1991, Ms. Hartman has been
directing a series of Tobacco Use Supplements (TUS) to the Labor Statistics and Census
Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS). TUS-CPS provides valuable state-specific public-use
information on 240,000 individuals.
Previously (1982 - 1997), in NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (now DCP),
her early leadership role co-directing major chemoprevention trials (e.g., Finland-U.S.
ATBC Study and ISO-BCC Skin Cancer Prevention Trial) involved planning size and scope,
developing and testing dietary and sun exposure assessment instruments, and evaluating
study results often utilizing new analytic techniques and interpretation in light of
measurement error. Her 1982 Georgetown University (GU) biostatistics M.S. involved
developing methods for creating food frequency questionnaires measuring nutrient sources
relevant to cancer prevention for NCI's DCEG (formerly DCCP). She worked at GU, Johns
Hopkins University (JHU), and University of Maryland Medical Schools after receiving her
1978 JHU Biology MA on an NIH scholarship. She received her 1973 Biology BS from SUNY at
Stony Brook. She has co-authored more than 60 publications/book chapters, has served on
Steering Committees and Expert Panels of national and international studies, and earned
three NIH Merit Awards.
