OverviewAI-generated summary
Pebbles Fagan, Professor in the Department of Health Behavior & Health Education at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, conducts research focused on tobacco product use, particularly among adolescents and adults. Her work investigates the associations between electronic cigarette use and respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome, especially in individuals who have never smoked traditional cigarettes. Fagan also explores the impact of heat-not-burn tobacco products and their relation to poly-tobacco use.
Her research also examines the influence of tobacco advertising, including on platforms like YouTube, and its characterization. Fagan has investigated the effects of potential policy changes, such as bans on flavored electronic cigarette liquids, on user reactions. Furthermore, her work addresses the intersection of racial discrimination and non-cigarette tobacco product use among Black adults, and nicotine dependence in individuals who use both e-cigarettes and cannabis.
Fagan is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 37 and over 126 publications. She has served as Co-PI on a significant NIH grant totaling $4,749,323 for the Center for Research, Health and Society, funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. Her collaborations include extensive work with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Dina M. Jones, Mohammed S. Orloff, Sandilyn Bullock, and Carol E. Cornell.
