Perth researchers have found toxic and harmful chemicals in several dozen e-cigarette liquids readily available in Australia.
A sub-study is an ‘add-on’ study that helps to answer specific questions within a larger research project. If you decide to participate in the CIRCA DIEM study, you or your child may be invited to take part in one of the CIRCA DIEM sub-studies.
