Cancer control research has been defined as "the
creation and application of knowledge and strategies to
prevent and detect cancer, and to increase survival and
quality of life for those who develop cancer.“

to analyze statewide
Youth Tobacco Survey data
SHS Exposure in South Carolina Youths, 2006
 40% of non-smoking SC middle and high school
students exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS)
 Of these, 85% were exposed to SHS in cars
Source: Cartmell K, Miner C, et al (Submitted)
SC Youth Tobacco Survey 2005-2007
Teens who smoke minimally resemble
chronic smokers in several key ways:
– Beliefs (smokers have more friends, smoking
looks cool, it is safe to smoke in short-term
and then quit)
– Even more likely than heavier smokers to be
motivated to quit and to engage in quit
attempts
Source: Carpenter MJ, et al Nicotine Tobacco Res (In press)
Translating Effective Smoking Cessation
Aids to Underserved Populations
Common themes among AAs and EAs:
– Motivation to quit needed for medications to work
– Concerns about safety
– Desire for more information
 Themes predominant among AAs:
– Strong suspicions of the pharmaceutical industry
– Power of doctor’s advice
– Supremacy of quitting “cold turkey”
Source: Carpenter MJ, et al (In preparation)

control
 Current Projects:

Cessation Among Unmotivated Smokers (NIDA R01)
• Stimulus Control and Trajectories of Adolescent
Smoking (NIDA K23)
• A Pilot RCT to Examine a Potentially Reduced
Exposure Tobacco Product (Prevent Cancer
Foundation)
• Use and perceptions of nicotine replacement therapy
among racial and ethnic minorities (HCC seed money)
