OverviewAI-generated summary
Pebbles Fagan's research focuses on tobacco product use, particularly electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), and their associations with respiratory health outcomes. Her work has investigated the relationship between ENDS use and conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome, specifically among individuals who have never smoked traditional cigarettes. Fagan also examines the broader landscape of tobacco product use, including heat-not-burn products and poly-tobacco use.
Her research extends to understanding user perceptions and reactions to tobacco product regulations, such as hypothetical bans on flavored ENDS liquids. Fagan also explores the influence of societal factors, including racial discrimination and tobacco advertisements, on tobacco product use among Black adults. Her scholarship is supported by significant federal funding, including a Co-PI role on a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant totaling over $4.7 million through the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. Fagan leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, collaborating with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Dina M. Jones, Mohammed S. Orloff, Sandilyn Bullock, and Carol E. Cornell.
