She is also interested in understanding optimal ways of communicating about health risks within these populations. Key themes of her current work include: 1) SES and racial/ethnic disparities in tobacco use and cessation; 2) health literacy, tobacco use, and underlying mechanisms; 3) cancer risk communication; 4) the relation between mental illness and tobacco use; and 5) the role of social support in tobacco cessation and other health behavior change. Dr. Hoover's work has used innovative and emerging methodologies (e.g., ecological momentary assessment, mixed methods) and approaches for engaging with community organizations (e.g., community based participatory research).  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia GCC Cluster for Alcohol and Addiction Research  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Health Disparities Research and Behavioral Science UT MD Anderson Cancer Center
