Dr. Weinberger’s research focuses on addictions with an emphasis on nicotine dependence. Specifically, she is interested in groups of adults who smoke at higher rates and have a more difficult time quitting smoking including adults with co-morbid psychiatric and substance use disorders and women. She also has an interest in identifying variables important to the smoking behaviors of these adults (e.g., expectancies, cue reactivity, stress) that can be targeted through behavioral treatments for smoking cessation.
