Oxford Tobacco Addiction Group
Our group produces primary research and systematic reviews of the evidence on interventions to prevent and treat tobacco addiction. This includes interventions for smoking cessation, for preventing smoking uptake, and public policy interventions for reducing smoking prevalence.
WHO WE ARE
We are professors, researchers, clinicians and DPhil students from across the health behaviours, Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Medical Statistics and Health Economics groups and centres within the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. We work together to produce research that reduces the burden of tobacco use and smoking-related disease.
