Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research interview Jamie Brown, University College London
Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Professor Jamie Brown. Jamie Brown is Professor of Behavioural Science and Director of the Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group at University College London. He co-leads a research programme that aims to provide insights into population-wide influences on smoking, smoking cessation and alcohol reduction via management and analysis of the major population surveys, the Smoking and Alcohol Toolkit Study. He is also involved in the development of digital behaviour change technologies. His particular focus is on real-world monitoring and evaluation of national tobacco control and alcohol policies, events and stop smoking treatments including e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement therapy.

In this podcast Jamie describes how he became involved in this research field. Jamie talks about the national surveillance programme, the Smoking Toolkit Study in relation to e-cigarettes. The Smoking Toolkit Study aims to monitor trends and provide insights into population wide influences on smoking and smoking cessation and be representative of adults in Great Britain. Each month a new sample of about 2400 adults complete a detailed survey with a trained Ipsos Mori interviewer. The study was started by Professor Robert West, almost 20 years ago in 2006 and has accumulated data from almost 400,000 different adults. This is an open toolkit or resource and the data is intended to be used by other researchers, policy makers and practitioners. Jamie talks about the different kinds of information that can be gathered from surveys compared to randomized controlled trials and discusses the importance of gathering data from different sources, to enhance the credibility of research findings.
