Center for Health Promotion Research

The goal of the Center is to provide a common place for faculty, health educators, community partners, and students to come together to share and develop ideas that will improve the health of our community, with a particular focus on lifestyle changes.

The mission of the Center for Health Promotion Research is to develop, evaluate, and disseminate health promotion and disease prevention programs in diverse settings and populations, with an emphasis on community-based research and evaluation. In addition, training and education is a critical component of this mission, working to develop behavioral scientists who specialize in health behavior and health promotion and who understand the social and environmental context in which healthy behaviors are developed and maintained.
