Andrew Weil Fellow Rowland Robinson is investigating integrative health care approaches to problem substance use in the Netherlands, Portugal and Brazil. His goal is to better understand public health policy and practices pioneered by the Netherlands and Portugal, followed by an investigation of how that model translates to a larger country, Brazil, which implemented a Dutch-style drug law in 2006. A graduate of Northeastern University in international affairs, Rowland was most recently a legislative assistant for US Senator Angus King and an opioid response project manager for the state of Maine.
