Economists Propose More Effective Approach to Reducing Smoking
Economists at HSE University have examined how smokers respond to changes in cigarette prices. When tobacco prices increase, cigarette consumption does not always decline. In fact, spending on tobacco may even rise: according to the researchers, a 1% decrease in cigarette affordability leads to a 0.28% increase in per capita tobacco expenditure. The findings suggest that to reduce smoking rates, tobacco prices must rise faster than household incomes. The study has been published in Voprosy Statistiki.

Biologists Discover Unique Properties of MiR-93-5p MicroRNA in Prostate Cancer
Researchers at the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems of the HSE Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology investigated how different isoforms of the same microRNA influence gene function in prostate adenocarcinoma. The study found that in some cases, microRNAs can reinforce each other’s effects by targeting and suppressing the same genes. This finding offers a fresh perspective on the molecular mechanisms underlying tumour development and on the search for disease biomarkers. The results have been published in PeerJ.

Incoherence in Birth Control Policy and the Dynamics of Abortion in Russia

Journal of Social Policy Studies. 2016. Vol. 14. No. 4. P. 461 – 478.
Sakevich V. I., Denisov B., Rivkin-Fish M.

The article analyzes the changes in the Russian Federation's state policy in the field of birth control in the post-Soviet period and their impact on the access to abortion and its incidence in the country. The sources of information on regulatory documents are the automated system for ensuring the legislative activity of the State Duma and the online reference system "Consultant+". The analysis of the legislation includes not only adopted laws and regulations, but also the bills. Assessment of the dynamics of the time series of different indicators of abortions was carried out on the basis of the official statistics of Rosstat and the Russian Federation Ministry of Health.

User-Driven Fact-Checking Behavior, Motivational Barriers and Expertise Asymmetry in Health Communication: A Large-Scale Online Experiment
Artemenko E., Koltsova O., Terpilovskii M., Journal of Health Communication 2026
Health misinformation undermines public well-being, yet most research conceptualizes fact-checking as an external intervention targeting false messages only. This obscures the effects of counter-messages on initially truthful statements and diverts attention from fact-checking as a user-driven practice. This study advances misinformation research by examining fact-checking as a spontaneous, naturalistic user behavior, captured via indirect behavioral ...
