Dr. Colby is a co-lead investigator on two research studies involving young adults who smoke cigarettes. The first study, with co-lead Dr. Jennifer Tidey, is a Research Component of the Center to Evaluate Nicotine in Cigarettes (CENIC; U54DA031659, Principal Investigators Donny & Hatsukami). This is a laboratory-based study of the effects of nicotine content in cigarettes and nicotine concentration and flavors in electronic cigarettes on responses to these products in 18 to 20 year olds who smoke cigarettes. The second study, with Dr. Rachel Cassidy (R01 DA047356) is a 5-week randomized clinical trial (RCT) testing the effects of cigarette nicotine reduction on smoking behavior in 15 to 20 year olds; this trial also explores whether reduced nicotine in cigarettes leads to substitution of alternative combusted and non-combusted tobacco use in adolescents.
Dr. Colby is a Co-Investigator on several other NIH research grants including: 1) a prospective trial examining the impact of adolescent exposure to alcohol content in social and entertainment media (PI: K.M. Jackson); 2) an RCT testing the implementation of culturally-specific motivational intervention (MI) for Latinx people who engage in heavy drinking (PI: C.S. Lee); 3) a therapeutic process study evaluating the hypothesized mechanisms that underly the effects of standard versus culturally-specific MI for reducing heavy drinking (MPIs: C.S. Lee and M. Magill). She collaborated with colleague Jordan Braciszewski (PI) on a recently completed pilot RCT of technology-based smoking cessation intervention for youth aging out of foster care.
Suzanne Colby's primary research interests include laboratory and clinical studies, treatment development, and instrumentation research related to adolescent and young adult alcohol, tobacco and other substance use.
