TRY Team Past Research
The TRY research team, led by Dr. Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin, has over 25 years of experience in addiction research focused on youth. The team has conducted multiple studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and American Heart Association, using a variety of methods, including focus groups and individual interviews, large-scale surveys, laboratory experimental paradigms, and human neuroimaging studies to understand the appeal and use of tobacco products among middle school- and high school-aged youth and college-aged young adults. The team has also led efforts to develop and test innovative and effective interventions to treat and prevent youth tobacco use. The team’s impactful efforts have resulted in over 100 publications, many of which were seminal in the field and have been cited in reports by the Surgeon General and to support FDA tobacco regulations.
