Gemma Taylor
Gemma Marie June Taylor is a British epidemiologist and public health researcher whose work focuses on smoking cessation, mental health, and addiction. Her research has examined associations between tobacco smoking, smoking cessation, depression, and anxiety disorders.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Taylor's research on smoking cessation and mental health received international media attention following the publication of a systematic review and meta-analysis in The BMJ and The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews which found that quitting smoking was associated with reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress, alongside improvements in psychological quality of life.[2][8][9][5][10]
In 2017, Taylor received a Population Researcher Fellowship from Cancer Research UK to investigate smoking cessation interventions for people experiencing depression and anxiety.[11]
