Andrew Hyland, PhD is an Associate Member in the Department of Health Behavior at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Dr. Hyland holds a PhD in Epidemiology and a MA in Statistics from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Dr. Hyland directs the Survey Research and data Acquisition Resource at Roswell Park. He has over 120 peer reviewed publications, is the PI on numerous grants and contracts, is a Senior Editor for the journal Tobacco Control, and leads the Roswell Park secondhand smoke research program, which was awarded the 2007 Global Smokefree Partnership Award for research excellence.

Dr. Hyland’s primary research interests lie in evaluating the impact of policies aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with the use of tobacco products. Examples of his work include an evaluation of the economic impact of clean indoor air laws, creating a system to monitor new tobacco products as they become available to the public, monitoring trends in cancer rates and cancer risk factors in the population using geographical methods, and assessing the impact of a variety of tobacco policy measures on cessation and mortality in a large cohort of smokers.

His recent work has involved facilitating comprehensive evaluations of national and sub-national clean air regulations and examining the impact of low and untaxed cigarette sales on indicators of smoking cessation and uncollected tax revenue.
