Prior to joining the CTCRE, Allison worked extensively with the Nicotine and Cannabis Policy Center to examine 1) cognitions as they relate to addictive behavior and 2) antecedents to health risk behaviors with an emphasis in dual use of tobacco products and co-use of cannabis and tobacco products. Dr. Temourian hopes to continue her work examining perceptions of nicotine addiction and their overlap with the clinical dimensions of tobacco use disorder.
