CHEMP is pleased to announce the release of a new publication by CHEMP Director Christopher J Gerry and CHEMP Research Fellow, Diana Quirmbach.  The paper, “Gender, education and Russia’s tobacco epidemic: A life-course approach” examines the smoking histories of Russian’s surveyed in the  Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of HSE (RLMS-HSE) and the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS).The authors examine the dynamics of smoking patterns over the past 7 decades and find that smoking rates differ most strongly by gender within all cohorts, but that this differential has decreased over time, driven by increases in female smoking and more recently by decreases in smoking among men. The publication appears in Social Science and Medicine, a Q1 journal and one of the leading outlets in the Public Health field.

The 2nd CHEMP work in progress seminar took place on Tuesday 12^th April at Kantemirovskaya from 3.30 pm until around about 6.00 pm.
The purpose of such workshops will be to share ideas across the workstreams and with colleagues outside of the workstreams, provide an opportunity for individuals to present work in progress and receive feedback, and in particular, to provide an informal setting for our CHEMP interns to discuss and present the progress of their work.

Yulia Raskina and Julia Zelikova will be presenting their work on healthy ageing at a joint CHEMP – EUSP workshop being hosted at European University St. Petersburg on March 14^th 2016.

Professor Gerry participated in a special seminar hosted by the Federal North-West Almazov Medical Centre
