Resource Details

The goal of the Theories Project is to identify and carry out activities that will help develop improved theories of health behavior. Its focus is on actions that individuals can take to prevent cancer and speed its early detection. The literature on health behavior is large, but progress in understanding health behaviors and in learning how to encourage such actions is not always apparent. The Theories Project is expected to lead to several outcomes including an institute to train junior faculty in using health behavior theories, literature reviews, and development of resources for using constructs, measures and methods.
