Sarah Mart’s Summary
Sarah's recent research at Marin Institute includes state efforts to increase alcohol taxes and fees, reclassify alcopops correctly, and regulate out-of-home advertising; the wine industry’s political influence in California; and Big Alcohol’s campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures.
A lifelong public health activist, she has prompted institutional refusal of Big Alcohol athletics sponsorship using analysis of local alcohol advertising; trained local and national audiences to effectively organize, achieve and sustain alcohol policy change; and debated John McCardell regarding the effectiveness of the 21-minimum legal drinking age.

She directed prevention services at Syracuse University (2007-2008), health promotion & services at the University of San Francisco (2004-2007), taught classes and directed health enhancement at The University of Montana--Missoula (1999-2004).
