Health Behavior

Health Behavior students learn to develop behavior change programs utilizing theories and methods from the social and behavioral sciences. Students also learn state-of the-art techniques and methods for health program evaluation. Our students are encouraged to become involved with faculty research projects on health-related issues such as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, tobacco and other substance use, poor dietary practices, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and intentional or unintentional injuries. Our research projects aim to improve the health and well-being of children, adolescents, the elderly, minorities and other populations.
