Sarah Gentry

Sarah Gentry serves as an Honorary Research Fellow at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, specializing in public health interventions within emergency department settings. Her research primarily focuses on smoking cessation strategies and nutritional outcomes following medical procedures.

Dr. Gentry's research interests center on behavioral interventions in acute care settings, with particular expertise in smoking cessation programs implemented in emergency departments. Her work examines the effectiveness of financial incentives, e-cigarette provision, and contextual factors influencing intervention success. She also investigates long-term nutritional complications following bariatric surgery, with emphasis on vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies emerging years after surgical procedures.

Her publication record demonstrates significant engagement with high-impact clinical trials, particularly the Cessation of Smoking Trial in the Emergency Department (CoSTED), which has generated substantial attention across multiple platforms including news outlets, policy documents, and social media channels. The CoSTED project, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, ran from April 2021 to September 2023.

Dr. Gentry actively collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions, as evidenced by her extensive co-authorship on systematic reviews and clinical trial evaluations. Her work has been referenced in policy sources, Wikipedia pages, and widely disseminated through social media platforms including X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky.
