Laura Beebe received her doctorate degree in epidemiology and her Master of Public Health degree in health education. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Dr. Beebe has significant experience in tobacco-related surveillance and evaluation research. She is currently the Principal Investigator for the NCI-funded project entitled "Tobacco Industry Tactics Aimed at Native Americans." The overall goal of this project is to gain an understanding of tobacco industry strategies related to the targeting and marketing of commercial tobacco to Native American communities, so that more effective techniques for the prevention and control of tobacco abuse may be developed. Dr. Beebe is also the Principal Investigator for the University of Oklahoma Community Networks Project (OUCNP), an NCI-funded community-based participatory planning and research program designed to reduce cancer health disparities in Native American and rural African American communities in Oklahoma. She was the Principal Investigator of the recently completed CDC Foundation/American Legacy Foundation funded project entitled, "Assessing Tobacco Control Capacity in Native American Communities." The goal of this project was to evaluate and enhance the capacity of Native American communities to engage in tobacco prevention and control efforts by assessing the extent to which communities have the infrastructure, ability, and desire to plan and collaborate for tobacco prevention and control activities. Dr. Beebe has worked with Native American communities for more than seven years on a variety of health related issues.
Notable publications include a chapter in Community Based Research: Issues and Methods(2003) and a paper describing smoking prevalence rates among American Indians (Public Health Reports, 2005)
