UCL Tobacco & Alcohol Research Group (UTARG)

Our central Cancer Research UK programme aims to develop and apply novel scientific approaches to increase the population rate of smoking cessation and alcohol reduction, targeting multiple levels by:

integrating theory and data from population surveys (Smoking Toolkit Study/Alcohol Toolkit Study) and experimental studies in computational models;
optimising and evaluating wide-reach, hybrid human-digital-pharmacological interventions;
addressing inequalities using a mixed-methods approach, combining co-design and lived experience with epidemiology;
methodological innovation including use of ontologies and open-science principles;
transdisciplinary integration to identify risk profiles and accelerate development of emerging treatments.
