Research: Advancing global tobacco control policy: A comparative study of Chile and the US

Daniel P. Giovenco, PhD, MPH is a social and behavioral scientist whose research identifies multilevel determinants of substance use inequities and generates evidence to inform structurally-based policy solutions. His primary line of research focuses on nicotine use and tobacco control policies. Specifically, he conducts population surveillance of emergent and evolving nicotine use behaviors and examines ways in which community-level factors, such as local policies and exposure to tobacco marketing, can mitigate or exacerbate longstanding tobacco use disparities. A more recent line of research explores cannabis industry marketing tactics and the co-use of cannabis and nicotine. He has methodological expertise in survey data analysis, geographic information systems, field data collection, and policy evaluation.
