Biobehavioral Determinants of Tobacco Use and Addiction
Studies of the links between biology and behavior aimed at identifying preexisting vulnerabilities to tobacco use and addiction. By determining how these vulnerabilities interact with sociocultural and psychological influences on tobacco use, and by improving the ability to assess risks quantitatively, more effective prevention and cessation interventions can be developed and tailored to those most likely to benefit from them.
