Area of Interest
Bryon uses behavioral science to improve health communication for cancer prevention, especially tobacco control. By reducing smoking, these policies can reduce the prevalence of cancer and other tobacco-related diseases. Byron is currently studying public perceptions about a proposed FDA policy to reduce the nicotine content in cigarettes and how to prepare healthcare providers for this policy. He also conducts research in Indonesia on the effects of new tobacco products and policies on smoking prevalence.
