Stevens S. Smith, PhD
Associate Professor, Department of Medicine

After earning his Ph.D. in psychology in 1990 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Stevens Smith completed a research fellowship at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Addiction Research Center in Baltimore, Md. Dr. Smith then returned to UW-Madison to pursue postdoctoral training in clinical psychology and preventive oncology. He is currently an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and a clinical investigator at UW-CTRI.

As a clinical scientist, Dr. Smith has been involved in several lines of research concerning addiction and psychopathology. Before joining UW-CTRI in 1992, Dr. Smith conducted psychological and molecular genetic research on vulnerability to addiction at NIDA. At UW-CTRI, Dr. Smith has been involved in numerous studies investigating behavioral and medicinal treatments for nicotine dependence, measurement of nicotine withdrawal and dependence, and the epidemiology and genetics of tobacco use, dependence and cessation. Dr. Smith's special interest in these studies concerns the role of psychopathology (such as depression) in motivation to quit smoking and as a risk factor for relapse to smoking.

In addition to conducting clinical research, Dr. Smith maintains an outpatient clinical practice as a Licensed Psychologist at UW Health West Clinic.
