The Institute for Global Tobacco Control works to prevent death and disease from tobacco use through research, education and policy development. Established in 1998 in the Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Institute has a strong base in survey research. In 2008, the Institute moved to the Department of Health, Behavior and Society under the leadership of Dr. David Holtgrave, Professor and Chair. With ongoing projects in more than 40 countries around the world, the Institute serves as a key international resource for the development of global tobacco control policies and interventions.
