Colleen Heflin featured on The Best of Our Knowledge

As always, host Bob Barrett selects an Academic Minute to air during The Best of Our Knowledge.

Each week this program examines some of the issues unique to college campuses, looks at the latest research, and invites commentary from experts and administrators from all levels of education.

For this week‘s edition (#1386), Bob has selected Colleen Heflin’s segment on SNAP benefits and Emergency Room visits. Dr. Heflin, professor in the school of public affairs at the University of Missouri, looks into this.

Colleen Heflin, professor in the University of Missouri Truman School of Public Affairs, conducts policy-relevant research that sits at the boundaries of sociology, economics, public health, public administration, and women’s studies.
