Three of our faculty members and three medical students recently published research in Public Health Reports examining adolescent e-cigarette use.
The study was led by Karen Geletko, MPH, Jon Mills, Ph.D., and Jeffrey Harman, Ph.D., with contributions from medical students Natalie Dix (M.D. Class of 2026), Meghana Bomma (M.D. Class of 2028), and Aidan Price (M.D. Class of 2028).
The researchers found that raising the minimum legal age to purchase to***co and ni****ne products may help reduce and prevent e-cigarette use among adolescents, highlighting the importance of continued research on the long-term effects of To***co 21 policies and how they interact with other public health interventions.
