CSUR Research and Consultancy

Centre for Substance Use Research Ltd is a multi-disciplinary research agency providing behavioural science support to companies submitting applications for PMTA, MRTP and TPD authorisation. In seeking regulatory approval for their products ENDS companies are required to support an extensive programme of research encompassing laboratory, clinical and behavioural studies. In relation to behavioural studies the need is to undertake research to identify the prevalence of use and intentions to use across diverse population groups including, adults and young people and amongst current, former and never smokers. Research is required to assess the impact of ENDS use to identify whether such use results in an increased or decreased likelihood of smoking. Research is also required to gage perception of ENDS amongst current, former and never smokers and in both adults and youth, CSUR has expertise in conducting behavioural studies across all of these areas.
