Research

Following products through the digital marketplace.

We combine epidemiology, computational methods, policy analysis, and real-world purchase audits to study markets that conventional retail surveillance can miss.

Tobacco & nicotine

Online retail discovery, flavor-policy compliance, age verification, shipping practices, excise taxes, and licensing.

02

Cannabis & cannabinoids

Digital availability, derived cannabinoid markets, state policy, and how consumers encounter emerging products.

03

Emerging psychoactive products

Rapid-response surveillance of substances including Amanita muscaria, kratom, and 7-hydroxymitragynine.

04

Methods for digital markets

Search-based sampling, website classification, archival evidence, and real-world purchase audits.
