Uraian Tempat

The Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences focuses on the effects of social factors and individual behaviors on health. By understanding these social and behavioral factors, public health professionals can help people to change their unhealthy behaviors and can advocate to change social conditions that have an adverse impact on health. Departmental faculty have testified on behalf of plaintiffs seeking to curb destructive marketing practices by tobacco companies and have advocated for stricter gun control and drunken driving laws. Together with social service organizations, faculty provide outreach and advocacy services to substance abusers and victims of domestic violence, and have helped public health officials and the private sector coordinate a nationwide program designed to help smokers overcome their habit.
