Dr. Brian J. Fairman’s research focuses on substance use epidemiology, with particular emphasis on the co-use of cannabis and tobacco products. His work examines behavioral patterns, health consequences, and policy influences surrounding blunt smoking—a common method of cannabis use involving hollowed-out cigars. He leverages nationally representative longitudinal data, such as the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study and the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), to investigate how social, environmental, and regulatory factors shape substance use behaviors across the life course.
A key theme of Dr. Fairman’s research is the intersection of cannabis and tobacco use, including the role of flavored products, initiation pathways, and associations with nicotine dependence and mental health outcomes. He also studies disparities in access to behavioral health services, including telehealth, particularly in rural and underserved communities. His research aims to inform prevention strategies, policy development, and treatment approaches.
Dr. Fairman has served as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on federally and institutionally funded projects and regularly collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across public health, behavioral science, and health services research.
