Teaching Areas: Research methods, Tobacco control
 

 
The overall goal of my research program is to enhance the availability of support for individuals to address tobacco use within diverse health care contexts. Projects involve practitioners' role in and patients' experiences of tobacco use management. Since my approach to understanding behavior is informed by an ecological perspective, the social context of behavior is an integral part of my research focus. Alternatively, I am interested in the utility of rights-based discourse. The reach of my research program will broaden to include the uptake of other prevention interventions in the context of cancer care. Finally, I am interested in the utility of diverse research methods; my dissertation was a mixed methods study.
