Research Focus
Dr. Beth A. Reboussin's research focuses on the public health implications and effects of cannabis use, especially in the context of regulatory practices and patient outcomes. Her projects investigate how product packaging influences perceptions of cannabis edibles and how these products are used by cancer patients for symptom relief. By conducting experiments and longitudinal studies, her lab aims to provide insights that will inform safer consumption practices and state policy guidelines for cannabis use.
