New research on teen smokers and body-related shame 

Erin O’Loughlin, a researcher with Concordia’s Independent Program (INDI), co-authors a recent study, published in Preventive Medicine Reports, on teen smoking. 

The study examines body-related shame in teenaged smokers, and looked at whether the typical teenaged smoker tries to balance out this unhealthy habit with more exercise.

The research was covered by outlets including Medical News Today, Medical Daily, Medical Express, News Medical, Gazette Review, The New Indian Express, LaPresse.ca, Radio Canada International, Canoe, AMEQ en ligne. Huffington Post Québec, TVANouvelles.ca, Journal Métro, Science World Report, Psych Central, University Herald, Microfinance Monitor,  Med India, The Siasat Daily  and Can-India News.
