Congratulations to Associate Scientist Camillia Lui who received funding to study how campus and community influence smoke-free policy adoption in community colleges.
With community colleges often under-resourced and under-funded, and given that the student population is racially/ethnically diverse, disproportionately lower-income, and at greater risk for tobacco-related harms compared to 4-year colleges, Camillia’s work aims to identify factors and best strategies that influence and facilitate the adoption of smoke-free policies.
The new project is supported by a Tobacco-related Disease Research Program New Investigator Study grant and runs from 2019 to 2021.
