About the author

Mary Hunter is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Nursing. Her current research focuses on the prescription of potentially inappropriate medications associated with cognitive decline in women, including estrogen, benzodiazepines, and opioids. As a nurse practitioner who has dealt with problems related to addiction both in and out of a clinical environment, she is motivated by the fact that drug dependence is everywhere, and finding appropriate treatment for victims is problematic.
