The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded Case Western Reserve University $241,500 on September 1, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to develop novel theoretical models and methods for reducing socioeconomic disparities in tobacco use. The award funds two primary aims. Aim 1 uses community-based system dynamics to identify key leverage points for intervention by developing a feedback theory of smoking and health-related social needs dynamics through key informant interviews and group model building that directly involves communities in conceptualizing and analyzing system dynamics simulation models. Aim 2 develops a novel clinical trial design to test adaptive, multilevel interventions by building on a Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trials framework to design methodology for identifying the optimal order to target multilevel leverage points addressing tobacco use disparities. The work is performed at Case Western Reserve University's Cleveland, Ohio location (44106) under affiliation with University Hospitals of Cleveland. The period of performance runs through February 29, 2028. This is a Project Grant assistance type supporting research addressing the complex feedback mechanisms underlying smoking cessation difficulty in low-income populations and populations with limited resources.
