Seung Hee Choi
Biography
Dr. Choi’s research focuses on smoking among underserved populations (e.g., dual-smoker couples) and smoking-involved multiple health behaviors where individuals engage in not only smoking but also other health risk behaviors simultaneously. Engaging in multiple health behaviors has been associated with a greater risk for developing chronic diseases and mortality than can be expected by the sum of the separate effects of health behaviors. Particularly, whenever smoking is involved in multiple health behaviors, mortality risks are higher than any other risk behaviors. The ultimate goal of Dr. Choi’s research is to reduce health disparities among underserved populations by promoting smoking cessation.
