Welcome to the official launch of the Tobacco Harm Reduction and Use (THRU) website. Tobacco continues to be the number one cause of preventable death and disease in the US and it is our aim to reduce the burden of this substance on the public. This website will be the home for all projects associated with the THRU Lab. Our goal is to create a one-stop shop for everyone who is interested in the research of the THRU Lab, including scientists, students and trainees, members of the community, individuals eligible to participate in research, current research participants, members of the media, and all other parties with interests in tobacco harm reduction. To scientists: please use this site to find the dissemination of our lab’s work such as presentations and research publications. To students and trainees: in addition to our findings, please use this site to see if you may be interested in working with Dr. Sokolovsky and the THRU Lab on any of our ongoing projects. To members of the community: Dr. Sokolovsky welcomes you to reach out and ask any questions you may have about our work. To individuals interested in participating: look at the projects that are currently underway and see if any of them are good fits for your current situation. For current research participants: please use the project pages for information on how to contact Dr. Sokolovsky and the research assistants if you have any questions or need help. To the media and everyone else: welcome to the conversation and feel free to ask as many questions as you have. Thank you everyone, we are excited to be a part of the Providence and Rhode Island community.
