Thank you Karen for accepting our " rendez-vous ". May I ask you to introduce yourself ?

I was born in the US, went into the Peace Corps, ended up staying in the Cameroon for 9 years and marrying a Frenchman. I then lived in Mostar, in the former Yugoslavia in the early 80s and then did my PhD in behavioural medicine with Rob Sanson-Fisher in Australia. I arrived in France 11 years ago, and joined up with Albert Hirsch and Serge Karsenty to work on smoking cessation in general practice.
