Research summary
AI-generated

Brian C. Kelly studies how people use substances such as cannabis, tobacco/e-cigarettes (vaping), alcohol, and opioids, and how these behaviors change across the life course, especially among adolescents and young adults. Much of the work examines how government policies (like cannabis legalization, vaping bans, and tobacco retail rules) shape who starts using substances and how risky that use is. The research combines survey data, longitudinal studies, and qualitative interview methods.
