Dr. Amanda Fallin-Bennett is an active early-career tobacco control scientist focusing on tobacco use and disparate populations. As a faculty associate in the Tobacco Policy Research Program, she is a Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) scholar. She is developing a research program focused on tobacco use and tobacco-related policies in mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities. In June 2014, she completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Stanton Glantz at the University of California San Francisco's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education. She has led projects related to tobacco use, policy, and prevention for vulnerable populations: in tobacco-growing states and among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender adults, college students, and bar-going young adults. Fallin-Bennett has also led two multi-site capacity-building projects funded by California's Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program to evaluate smoke and tobacco-free college campus policies in California as an extension of her dissertation research. Dr. Fallin-Bennett will teach the undergraduate research course and serve as co-coordinator for the undergraduate research internship program.
