McNeely Appointed Deputy Director of Center for Adolescent Health

Clea A. McNeely has been named deputy director of the Center for Adolescent Health at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. McNeely, an assistant professor in the Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health, previously served as the center's research director.

"Dr. McNeely's devotion to helping urban youth become healthy and productive adults is evident in her research record and the community-based research projects and local partnerships she initiates," said Freya Sonenstein, director of the center. "Her appointment to deputy director will serve to build upon the work she — and everyone else at the center — accomplishes on a daily basis on behalf of the people who work with youth in Baltimore."

As a public health researcher, McNeely has investigated the influence of school, parents and peers on adolescents and assessed the ability of community programs to promote healthy youth development. She joined the center in 2004 after earning her doctorate in public health at UCLA and serving on the faculty at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine.
