 Research Interests
Dr. Cartmell's current research projects include: 1) a multi-level intervention to optimize HPV vaccination in South Carolina; 2) several studies evaluating strategies to optimize the reach and effect of tobacco cessation services at the health system level; 3) a secondary data analysis-based study to evaluate the effect of implementation of a comprehensive evidence-based tobacco cessation service on healthcare utilization and cost outcomes; and 4) a palliative care navigation intervention in Kolkata, India that utilizes community health workers to expand access and quality of services to medically underserved rural patients.
