Tyler Erath, PhDTyler Erath, PhD

My research is broadly focused on behavioral health, substance use disorders, and health disparities. A central tenet that connects my research—past, present, and future—is to integrate evidence-based practices into real-world, community settings. My current projects include collaborative work with a local syringe service program on substance use and treatment interest among individuals who inject drugs and behavioral economic research examining the substitutability of alternative tobacco products among individuals who smoke menthol cigarettes.

My research focuses on ameliorating the harms of cigarette smoking on the public health with a particular emphasis on supporting vulnerable populations, including those with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). My projects include investigating the influence of opioid agonist medications on nicotine metabolism, understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the smoking patterns of people from vulnerable groups, and observing whether and how patterns of flavored e-cigarette use relate to reductions in combustible cigarette use.Email | PubMed | CV
