Description
Jacob Borodovsky, PhD, is an epidemiologist whose work sits at the intersection of substance use epidemiology, health policy, regulation, and data science. Dr. Borodovsky studies how psychoactive products, information environments, and public policies shape behavior and health outcomes. His work helps close the gap between rapidly changing substance-related risks and the evidence policymakers need to respond.
A major focus of his work is Cannabis Regulatory Science, which applies public health research methods to questions about cannabis products, use patterns, marketing, and policy. His work in this area focuses on measuring cannabis exposure and on the effects of product information and marketing on behavior. His broader research has examined opioid use disorder treatment, adolescent substance use, digital health interventions, and safety questions related to psychoactive medications. Across these areas, he develops measurement, digital, and analytical approaches to inform substance-related regulation and public health decisions.
At The Dartmouth Institute, we are not just a workplace. We are a community dedicated to improving population health, reducing health disparities, and creating high-performing, sustainable health systems.
