Grants & Awards
Violet (Shu) Xu, with the mentorship of colleagues Raymond Niaura and Yang Feng, received a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to help close the gaps in research illustrating how e-cigarette (EC) use influences subsequent combustible cigarette (CC) smoking as well as to inform FDA regulations. Xu's study aims to use causal machine learning methods to determine the influence of ECs on CC smoking in U.S. youth and adult populations, to understand intersectionalities between vulnerable subgroups (e.g., age, gender) and to explore methods for estimating generalizable EC exposure effects.
