My research interests are on improving tobacco control and reducing the burden of tobacco related diseases by facilitating the treatment of tobacco dependence by health care professionals. I am particularly interested in health care systems changes that may improve physicians’ adherence to evidence-based tobacco use and dependence guidelines.

• Development and implementation of resources for tobacco use cessation interventions
• Methods of implementing systems and guidelines for preventive care into physician practices

   

• A smoking cessation telephone resource: feasibility and preliminary evidence on the effect on health care provider adherence to smoking cessation guidelines.
   
   
• Genetic testing for lung cancer risk.
