Across all talks, speakers will highlight the potential social and behavioral mechanisms of impact of COVID-19 on tobacco use behavior, with a special emphasis on health disparities. In addition to these data presentations, the event will include a discussion addressing implications for surveillance, intervention, and regulation, as well as practical issues of collecting survey data during a pandemic.
The goal of the virtual event is to bring together leading scientists to address the impact of COVID-19 on tobacco use behaviors among adolescents and young adults, by sharing the most up-to-date research findings, discussing lessons learned, and identifying implications and research gaps.
