Abstract
Abstract:
This diversity research supplement on Project 3, “Modeling the Impact of Tobacco
Control Policies on Polytobacco Use and Associated Health Disparities,” which is part of the
NCI-funded University of Michigan/Georgetown Center for the Assessment of the Public Health
Impact of Tobacco Regulations (U54CA229974), will provide three years of funding and
professional development/training for Mr. Delvon Mattingly, a PhD student in the Department of
Epidemiology at the University of Michigan. Mr. Mattingly is pursuing his research interests in
social determinants of tobacco use and other substances, including determinants that are
particularly salient for racial/ethnic minorities. The aims of the proposed research are: 1: to
evaluate the relationship between perceived discrimination and individual tobacco product use
by race/ethnicity and gender; and 2: to evaluate the relationship between perceived
discrimination and polytobacco use by race/ethnicity and gender. Mr. Mattingly’s project will
complement the aims of Project 3 of the parent grant, which aims to estimate tobacco-related
health disparities associated with polytobacco use and to investigate the impact of specific
tobacco control policy options on these disparities, by examining discrimination as an
understudied social determinant of tobacco-related health disparities, particularly related to
polytobacco use and differences by race/ethnicity and gender. Knowledge learned from this
diversity supplement may lead to a better understanding of the complex interplay between
social determinants and tobacco-related health disparities of polytobacco use among
racial/ethnic minorities.
