OVERVIEW
|
| Dr. Ossip-Klein directs the Smoking Research Program, which focuses on community based interventions and underserved populations. She is principal investigator on two NIH-funded projects. The first is a tobacco research and capacity building project in 6 economically disadvantaged communities in the Dominican Republic. The second is a US and Canadian project examining promotional strategies to engage underserved populations to call quitlines. She also directs a state-funded contract to deliver proactive telephone counseling and OTC nicotine replacement medications to Medicaid and uninsured smokers across New York State through the NYS Smokers' Quitline. Recent projects include a statewide trial of various combinations of mailed and telephone interventions for mid-life and older smokers, a multi-county trial of primary care interventions for adolescent smoking, and a national survey of smoking attitudes, beliefs, and policies regarding smoking in nursing homes. Dr. Ossip-Klein is Member Delegate for North America for the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, and is a member of various other local, state, national, and international committees, working groups, and advisory boards for tobacco prevention and control issues. |
