The Center for Health Behavior Research & Innovation (CHB) is a collaborative initiative of the College of Arts & Sciences, the Office of Research, and the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF). We aspire to lead in the conduct and dissemination of innovative translational health behavior research, education, and training.
Our Focus
- Uniting Diverse Expertise: We bring together individuals with a wide range of expertise in research, community engagement, and clinical applications to address complex health behavior challenges.
- Comprehensive Research Spectrum: Our studies span from controlled human laboratory trials to the development and testing of novel intervention and assessment modalities.
- Biopsychosocial Focus: We examine the complexities of individual and group health behaviors, exploring biopsychosocial correlates, predictors, and mechanisms of change across all life stages.
- Real-World Impact: In collaboration with community stakeholders, healthcare partners, and public health experts, we disseminate, implement, and evaluate advancements to achieve significant impact in real-world settings.
We invite researchers, educators, and practitioners to join us in advancing the field of health behavior research and making a meaningful difference in our communities.
