Dana Rubenstein, MD, will share her CAsToR pilot project work, which models the impact of a nicotine reduction standard (NRS) on people with disabilities. Specifically, she will cover: - Model construction, including parameterization - Simulation model results for projected smoking prevalence and public health harms from 2023-2100 in people with disabilities in under scenarios with and without an NRS. - Potential public health benefits of an NRS for people with disabilities. Questions from the audience are welcomed and encouraged.
