Research

Supported by over $12 million in external funding annually, faculty members in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences conduct public health research across the translational spectrum.

BSS faculty and trainees conduct qualitative research with diverse populations as well as sophisticated quantitative modeling of mechanisms of behavior change. They perform laboratory-based experiments as well as formative research with community partners.

They develop and test behavior change theories, and run projects that evaluate, implement and disseminate interventions to promote healthier behaviors. BSS research engages community partners and employs the latest technological advances to measure behavior and social contexts and to deliver interventions.
