Public Health

Despite widespread clinical screening, suicide is hard to predict, but a new George Mason University College of Health and Human Services study has found a way.

After Kristine Tran, MS Global Health ’20, graduated this spring, she immediately began working at the Virginia Department of Health on COVID-19 contact tracing.

Study from George Mason reveals that accurately labeling e-cigarette emissions as ‘chemicals’ or ‘aerosols’ rather than ‘vapor’ increases the perceived risk of exposure. Higher perceived risk is linked to stronger support for smoke-free campus policies.

Mason’s College of Health and Human Services offers Virginia’s first doctoral degree in public health.
