profits. Findings are communicated in press interviews and a variety of educational materials,
which include reports, books, posters, software, videos, and the Center's Nutrition Action
Healthletter. CSPI also has a vigorous program focused on reducing the harm caused by alcoholic
beverages. Generally, an internship is for ten weeks. Undergraduate interns are paid an hourly
