(2) using observational and experimental approaches to investigate the mechanisms that explain these interrelationships, and
(3) develop, forecast, and evaluate multilevel interventions to reduce disparities in health behaviours.
Majority of the research will focus on tobacco and substance use disparities, under the direction of Dr Kelvin Choi. There will be opportunities for the incumbent to interact with investigators within and outside of the NIH.
