We are excited to share that a collaborative NIH R01 project, funded by the National Cancer Institute and the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, has been awarded to Georgia State University (GSU) as the primary site, with Dr. Jiaying Liu serving as Co-Investigator and UCSB as the other data collection site.
The project, “Behavioral Intervention to Mitigate Nicotine Addiction in Digital Environments,” will advance critical research on how anti-tobacco messages can break through the clutter of social media to reduce nicotine addiction across diverse age and socioeconomic groups. As part of the grant, Dr. Liu and Yidi Wang also led an eye-tracking training at GSU to support the project’s research goals.
