Kudos to Isaac Lipkus, professor, and his entire team for the submission of their subcontract proposal on Virginia Commonwealth University’s NIH R01 application entitled: "Characterizing Toxicant Exposure/Yield, Behavior, and Abuse Liability of the Electronic Waterpipe." This proposal requests funding for a four-year period with a start date of July 1, 2021.

Lipkus will create an assessment of perceived health risks of electronic waterpipe use and intentions for future use and detail how risk perceptions/intentions can be influenced by subjective/behavioral measures. In year two, Lipkus will start to develop the analyses related to risk perceptions/intentions. In year three, he will assist with analyses related to risk perceptions/intentions.
