Dr. Leana Wen is to be commended for putting forward the comprehensive public health plan known as Healthy Baltimore 2020 ("Redefining public health," Sept. 2). Specific tactics to accomplish such an outcome would benefit from consideration of Dr. Anthony Biglan's work on how the science of human behavior can be applied to improve our lives and our world.
If it takes a lady from Shanghai to put things right in Baltimore, so be it.
