Call for Papers: Journal of Environmental and Public Health Special Issue on Tobacco Consumption Patterns
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced a Call for Papers for a special issue of the Journal of Environmental and Public Health which will provide a compilation of research on the emerging science describing tobacco consumption patterns. The epidemiology of smoking has evolved dramatically over the last decade, as it appears that cigarette consumption (cigarettes per day) is continuing to decline. Studies on the association between tobacco control interventions (place restrictions, increase excise taxes, establish secondhand smoke policies) and cigarette consumption patterns are rapidly emerging in the literature. Therefore, studies addressing specific research questions related to cigarette consumption are needed, especially since changes in smoking prevalence have not been consistent across all groups in developed and developing countries (e.g., women, youth, low socioeconomic status, racial/ethnic minorities). Manuscripts are due by October 1, 2011. Click here to read the call for papers.
