behaviors. Her research focuses primarily on prevention and early intervention
of health risk behaviors among adolescents and young adults, with a particular
emphasis on smoking cessation and weight management treatments.

1999, Lloyd-Richardson was awarded a Research Mentorship Award from the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Faculty Scholars Program for her research

Tobacco Etiology Research Network, University Project (UPTERN)
Elizabeth Lloyd-Richardson, Ph.D. (PI)
The UPTERN project intends to investigate the role of various
individual-level and contextual-level variables on the smoking uptake and
trajectories of students during their freshman year in college. UPTERN
targets a sample of freshmen attending Purdue University, assessing a
variety of health behaviors, including smoking, alcohol, sleep, and
exercise habits. Using data obtained weekly via the internet, the aim is
to describe the pattern of early cigarette use and smoking trajectories
during a time of tremendous change in young adult lives.
TTURC: NEFS Pilot Project II - Early Intervention in a Technical School
and Colege Population (Paths to Health)
Elizabeth Lloyd-Richardson, Ph.D. (PI)
This project is a treatment outcome study evaluating the combination of
cognitive-behavioral/motivational group therapy plus nicotine replacement
therapy for enhancing the achievement and maintenance of smoking cessation in
a sample of young adults attending technical school. The goal of this study is
to further delineate elements of an effective treatment protocol that is
highly tailored to the needs of young adults who may be less motivated to quit
smoking.
Motivation and Patch Treatment for HIV-Positive Smokers
Raymond Niaura, Ph.D. (PI), Elizabeth Lloyd Richardson, Ph.D. (Co-I)
Cigarette smoking poses health risks unique to the HIV-positive
population, including increased risk of bacterial pneumonia, oral
candidiasis, and perhaps even increased risk for progression to full-blown
AIDS. Quitting smoking would help to improve these risk profiles. This
project is evaluating two treatments for smoking cessation, one enhanced
with an intervention designed to increase motivation to quit smoking.
Results will have implications for importing cost effective cessation
interventions into clinical care settings.
