Dr. Kasza is an Assistant Professor of Oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. For more than a decade, her work has leveraged large-scale population-based datasets to investigate tobacco product use behaviors occurring in the ‘real-world’ to inform tobacco regulatory decisions for the betterment of public health. Dr. Kasza led seminal work from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, including establishing the Study’s foundational tobacco use estimates published in the New England Journal of Medicine. She has also worked extensively with the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC Project), where her work demonstrated effectiveness of smoking cessation medications when used in the general population, consistent with clinical trial-indicated medication efficacy. Dr. Kasza received her PhD and Certificate of Advanced Study in Applied Statistical Analysis from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Dr. McQuoid is an Assistant Professor in the TSET Health Promotion Research Center and the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. She is a health geographer who employs qualitative and mixed research methods to explore the interplay of people, their everyday environments, and behaviors related to health and wellbeing. Her projects have integrated ecological momentary assessment with qualitative mapping interviews to examine the everyday patterns, contexts, roles, and meanings of substance use. Her current research program focuses on understanding and addressing tobacco and other substance use disparities among priority communities, including sexual and/or gender minoritized individuals living in high stigma places and people living in rural areas. Prior to her faculty appointment, Dr. McQuoid completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco’s Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education.
Dr. Andy Tan (he/him) leads the Health Communication and Equity Lab (HCEL) at the Annenberg School at Penn. His research aims to advance communication science to achieve health equity for all. He conducts community-engaged research involving organizations that serve LGBTQ+ communities to design and develop culturally appropriate communication to prevent and reduce tobacco use in youth and young adults. The HCEL utilizes mixed-methods research designs informed by persuasion and message effects theories, social determinants of health frameworks, and implementation science. The goal of this work is to translate this knowledge into scalable and culturally sensitive communication interventions to reduce tobacco- and cancer-related health disparities.
SCLC’s annual cessation updates will review past-year trends in tobacco cessation as well as advances and opportunities in tobacco cessation among disproportionately impacted populations. For the 2024 review, we will review data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study on population trends in discontinuing tobacco products and attempting to quit tobacco products. We will also focus on tobacco cessation and anti-smoking interventions for sexual and gender minority populations in the US.
- Describe how tobacco product cessation rates among adults have changed in the US across 2013-2023
- Identify that cigarette cessation rates remain low in the US relative to cessation rates for other tobacco products
- Identify the theoretical foundations of tobacco interventions tailored for sexual and/or gender minoritized (SGM) people and potential future directions for theoretically-based intervention approaches
- Describe the design and pilot outcomes of an SGM-tailored smoking cessation intervention informed by Empowerment Theory
- Describe results from a randomized controlled trial to evaluate effects of exposure to culturally tailored anti-smoking ads on intentions to quit cigarette smoking among young adult sexual minority women
- Explain mechanisms of action of culturally tailored anti-smoking messages on increasing quit intentions through increased anti-industry beliefs and attitudes among young adult sexual minority women
