Dr. Maciosek’s current work focuses on the analyses of tobacco control policy using the HealthPartners Institute’s ModelHealthTM: Tobacco microsimulation model, which he curates. He led studies in collaboration with ClearWay Minnesota to conduct simulations of the impact of Minnesota’s success in reducing the prevalence in tobacco use and currently leads an NIH-funded study to determine the population health effects of electronic nicotine delivery systems under alternative tobacco policy scenarios. Dr. Maciosek has also led economic analyses within NIH-funded studies of depression, cardiovascular disease and cancer care, policy analyses for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and a decision analysis for the US Preventive Services Task Force.

Webinar Objectives
  1. Describe “Tobacco Nation,” a group of 13 states in the South and Midwest of the United States which have disproportionately high rates of smoking compared to the rest of the US.
  2. Describe the expected trajectory of geographic disparities between Tobacco Nation and the rest of the US over 20 years in the absence of policy change (status quo scenario).
  3. Describe expected trajectory of geographic disparities over 20 years if Tobacco Nation states were to implement increased cigarette taxes and tobacco control expenditures (policy scenario).
  4. Compare status quo and policy scenarios to understand the potential impacts of strengthening tobacco control policies in Tobacco Nation.
