Excited to share I received an NIH K23 Career Development Award! This $1M award will support my research to explore how machine learning (a subfield “AI”) might help to personalize treatment in real time for people trying to address their tobacco use. linkedin.com/posts/kayejess…

@medpagetoday coverage of our recent article in @JAMAPediatrics: Nearly Half of Teen Vapers Have Recently Tried to Quit - study shows need for better support systems medpagetoday.com/pulmonology/sm…

While nearly half of adolescents who vape attempt to quit each year, few use evidence-based cessation methods and instead increasingly rely on apps. ja.ma/4eVLtAJ @KayeJesseT

NIH-supported study found that teens and young adults who took a smoking cessation drug called varenicline were more likely to quit vaping nicotine than those who got a placebo pill. bit.ly/4mjgx0a

Quitting tobacco use still beneficial after cancer diagnosis. Great article about the important work we're doing at @UWCTRI and @UWCarbone ! uwhealth.org/news/quitting-…

Really important study by @EdenEvins et al. of youth quitting nicotine vaping using varenicline. Much better than placebo or usual care. The first really definitive trial of this. Varenicline for Youth Nicotine Vaping Cessation jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Our recent @UWCTRI clinical trial published in @JAMANetworkOpen! Highlights the need to continue to evaluate innovative ways to support adults with socioeconomic disadvantages who want to quit smoking cigarettes.

In this RCT evaluating enhancements to tobacco quitlines for adults with socioeconomic disadvantage who were smoking after quitline treatment, none of the adaptive treatment strategies robustly improved long-term abstinence. ja.ma/4fijqe6

@bentollphd @JAMANetworkOpen Thanks for highlighting our study Ben!

Really interesting study in @JAMANetworkOpen testing adaptive treatments for a quitline treatment with a socioeconomically disadvantaged population Unfortunately no enhanced treatments appeared to work - we need novel tobacco treatments! jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Northwestern's @cbitshealth is seeking applicants for our NIMH T32 postdoc fellowship in digital mental health, starting July 2025! Along w several amazing CBITs faculty, I'm one of the available research (co-)mentors Review starts Dec 2024. More info: cbits.northwestern.edu/training/postd…

Whichever way you measure it, Cigarette Smoking causes far more harm to population health than any substance. In fact, for 3/4 metrics, more than all other substance use added together. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39023909/

🆕 @statnews op-ed in Nora's Blog: #NIDA Director Dr. Nora Volkow & colleague Dr. Tisha Wiley discuss how the overdose crisis impacts people in jails or prisons, and the importance of providing addiction treatment in criminal justice settings. @jcoinctc go.nih.gov/LbgKLQq

@NIDAnews @statnews @jcoinctc Great article Dr. Volkow & Dr. Wiley! It is critical to improve substance use disorder treatment for people in prisons and jails. Unfortunately, tobacco treatment is too often left out of this conversation, but its importance can not be overstated: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
