Cigarette Smoking

Led by Dana Best, MD, MPH, the Center for Health Services and Community Research has several efforts to reduce secondhand tobacco smoke exposure of children. Smoke Free Homes is a national effort to train pediatricians in concise, effective methods to counseling parents to make homes and cars smoke free. Other research includes correlation studies of secondhand smoke exposure of children and cotinine levels in body fluids, and a study of the pharmacokinetics of nicotine and cotinine in pregnant women.
