maternal leave. Welcome back, Shoba!

| On March 20 and 21, 1999, another Target Cities meeting was held in San Francisco, CA.
Representatives of the sites, cross-site team and CSAT discussed project development and
several issues.
Primary points of discussion were papers and presentations that Target Cities staff
members are preparing basing on the project's data, and redesigning the 2b dataset. 2b
data structure was reconstructed so that it reflects more closely what can be collected
across sites.
Cross-site team group, which included Dr. Richard Stephens, Dr. Shoba Nair, Doug McGivern
and Heather Huff, enjoyed a productive meeting with their colleagues. And everybody had a
nice lunch :-)

| On December 6-8, 1998, Target Cities Cross-Site evaluation meeting was held in
Washington, DC. Cross-Site team delegation was led by Dr. Richard Stephens and included
Shoba Nair, Doug McGivern, Sevy Petras and Anatoli Kouznetsov. At the meeting, proposed
changes to the codebooks were discussed, data collection progress and data quality were
evaluated, and presentations of Target Cities team members that are being prepared for
several conferences, were reviewed.
