Estimating the Public Health Consequences of Menthol Cigarettes on Smoking Prevalence and Premature Mortality: DATE: Wed Feb 10, 2021; “Estimating the Public Health Consequences of Menthol Cigarettes on Smoking Prevalence and Premature Mortality: An Update of the Simulation Analysis Supporting the Recommendations of the 2011 FDA’s TPSAC Menthol Report”

“Our results indicate that mentholated tobacco products have had a significant impact on public health and could continue to pose a substantial health risk.” — David Mendez, associate professor in the Department of Health Management and Policy at the U-M School of Public Health. “Previous studies have shown that menthol experimentation is positively associated with progression to established smoking. In addition, menthol smokers are less likely to quit smoking than nonmenthol smokers. These observations were incorporated in the model and are the key factors in determining the outcomes of our study.” — Thuy Le, Department of Health Management and Policy at U-M's School of Public Health.
CAsToR Trainee and Early Stage Investigator: Luis Zavala-Arciniega, MD, MSc: DATE: Fri Feb 05, 2021; CAsToR Trainee and Early Stage Investigator Luis Zavala-Arciniega, MD, MSc discusses flavors and disparities on tobacco products among exclusive, dual and polytobacco users to evaluate the impact on potential flavoring restrictions on tobacco products.
Git for GitHub: Introduction to collaborative Git development: DATE: Wed Feb 03, 2021; In this webinar you will learn: • use the distributed features of Git to publish your project; • interact with your collaborators; • incorporate changes from volunteer contributors; • revert some of Git actions and understand how this may affect the work of other contributors Please note, this is a continuation of our previous course “The code is forever: an introduction to distributed version control with Git and GitHub”.
