CAsToR Webinar with Ben Apelberg and Mitch Zeller: A Conversation about the Use of Computational Models in Tobacco Regulation: DATE + TIME: Thu May 30, 2024 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM; SPEAKERS: Ben Apelberg, PhD, MHS (Deputy Director, Office of Science, U.S. FDA) and Mitch Zeller, JD (Former Director, Center for Tobacco Products, U.S. FDA); DESCRIPTION:
Dr. Ben Apelberg will provide brief remarks on how tobacco modelers can make their work as valuable and practical as possible for tobacco regulatory authorities. Mitch Zeller will provide commentary on Dr. Apelberg’s remarks, and both speakers will then participate in a discussion. Questions from the audience are welcomed and encouraged. Questions?

CAsToR Webinar: Microsimulation Modeling for the Colliding Epidemics of Tobacco and HIV: DATE + TIME: Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM; DESCRIPTION:
Dr. Krishna Reddy will discuss an established microsimulation model of HIV and a new microsimulation model of tobacco and nicotine product use. He will review the application of these models to study clinical and economic outcomes associated with tobacco use among people with and without HIV in the US and South Africa. Dr. Reddy will also discuss dissemination of model findings to clinical and policy making audiences.; Video for “CAsToR Webinar: Microsimulation Modeling for the Colliding Epidemics of Tobacco and HIV”
CAsToR Webinar: Building a COPD Natural History Simulation Model for Tobacco Regulation Evaluation: From Statistics to Simulation: DATE + TIME: Tue Jun 13, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM; DESCRIPTION:
CAsToR junior investigator Dr. Sanchez Romero will talk through the development of a population simulation model for tobacco control, using an example of her work on developing a COPD Natural History Model. She will also discuss the use of different methods to estimate model input parameters, including important barriers to consider when using various health data sources for model development. There will be sufficient time for Q&A. Questions? Please contact Molly Coeling at mcoeling@umich.edu.; Video for “CAsToR Webinar: Building a COPD Natural History Simulation Model for Tobacco Regulation Evaluation: From Statistics to Simulation”

Lightning Talks 2023 Session Two: Tobacco Use Transitions: DATE + TIME: Thu Jan 19, 2023 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM; DESCRIPTION: “Determinants of tobacco use transitions among smokers and dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes” with Dr. Andrew Brouwer (University of Michigan) • “Identifying causal pathways in longitudinal tobacco product transition studies” with Dr. Shu “Violet” Xu (New York University) • “Predicting smoking behaviors using machine learning” with Dr. Mona Issabakhsh (Georgetown University) and Dr. Thuy Le (University of Michigan) • “Substitutability of cigarettes for salt- and free-based ENDS devices in young adult ENDS users” with Dr. Amanda Quisenberry (Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center); Video for “Lightning Talks 2023 Session Two: Tobacco Use Transitions”
Lightning Talks 2023 Session One: Tobacco Use Among Youth: DATE + TIME: Wed Jan 18, 2023 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM; DESCRIPTION: “The effects of Tobacco 21 adoption on cigar sales in the US” with Dr. Alex Liber (Georgetown University) • “Automating the detection of American adolescents at risk of e-cigarette dependence using machine learning” with Dr. Rui “Ray” Fu (University of Toronto) • “The impact of individual decision making and social network structure on anti-tobacco program effectiveness and disparities in adolescent tobacco use behavior” with Dr. Yuefan “Iris” Shao (University of California San Francisco) • “Cross State Border Nicotine Vaping Products Purchase – Early Evidence from State Emergency Sales Restrictions in 2019” with Dr. Kai-Wen Cheng (Governors State University); Video for “Lightning Talks 2023 Session One: Tobacco Use Among Youth”
Tobacco Regulatory Science Distinguished Speaker Series: Nicotine and Tobacco Regulatory Policy - A Look Back and a Look Forward: DATE + TIME: Thu Sep 29, 2022 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM; SPEAKERS: Mitch Zeller, JD (Former Director, Center for Tobacco Products, FDA); DESCRIPTION: Mr. Zeller will take an in-depth look at the historically unregulated marketplace for tobacco products and the public health consequences of the lack of regulation. He will then explore the critical role that FDA plays conducting premarket product reviews to determine whether new tobacco products are “appropriate for the protection of public health” and should be authorized for sale. He will close with a look forward, sharing observations and posing a series of questions related to the ongoing harm reduction debate surrounding e-cigarettes.; Video for “Tobacco Regulatory Science Distinguished Speaker Series: Nicotine and Tobacco Regulatory Policy - A Look Back and a Look Forward”
