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.
