Assistant Professor
Shyanika W. Rose, PhD, MA, is a faculty member of the Center for Health Equity Transformation (CHET), and an Associate Professor in the Department of Behavioral Science in the College of Medicine. Dr. Rose’s research focuses on policy approaches to reducing disparities in tobacco use, and her interests include point of sale marketing, advertising, distribution in neighborhoods, the amount of tobacco products used by individuals, and the challenges associated with quitting. Dr. Rose has published over 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals, and recently completed two National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants examining menthol cigarettes and flavored tobacco use. As a faculty member of CHET, she plans to continue her equity-focused tobacco research while also applying her skills in public policy and evaluation to other equity issues, particularly marketing strategies in the food, alcohol, and marijuana industries that negatively impact the health of marginalized groups.
