    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Dr. Hartwell's general research interests are tobacco use disorders, smoking cessation and craving to smoke during a quit attempt. Her studies have examined the underlying neurobiology of craving using neuroimaging techniques. She is also interested in gender differences in substance use disorders. As an addiction psychiatrist she provides clinical care for substance use disorders at the Ralph H. Johnson VAMC.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
