Karen S. Hudmon, Dr.P.H., M.S., R.Ph.
Assistant Professor, Division
of Chronic Disease Epidemiology
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Professor Hudmon is a behavioral epidemiologist and licensed pharmacist,
receiving her B.S. in Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University, her
M.S. in Pharmacy from Auburn University and her doctorate in public
health from the University of Texas. Her research focuses primarily
on tobacco, the primary known preventable cause of disability and
disease in the United States.
Specifically, her research examines: (a) smoking initiation and
cessation among adolescents and young adults; (b) methods for treating
tobacco use and dependence through expansion of the clinician's
role in cessation; and (c) genetic predisposition for tobacco use
and dependence. She has co-coordinated an effort to develop, evaluate,
and disseminate a comprehensive tobacco cessation training program,
Rx for Change: Clinician-Assisted Tobacco Cessation, for
students in the health professions.
Other areas of Dr. Hudmon's research include the study of medication
compliance and a statewide evaluation of the California Poison Control
System.
