specific objective of the program is to train exceptional
researchers and scholars in the interdisciplinary field
of health behavior research. The well-rounded training
that students receive encompasses theory and methods
from many allied fields including: communications, psychology,
preventive medicine, biostatistics, public health and
epidemiology.
Students also receive research experience participating
in projects conducted by HBR faculty, most of them through
the USC Institute for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
Research (IPR). IPR is a separate research institute
at USC but is also home to the Division of Health Behavior
Research. Training in the program is conducted via course
lectures, discussions, seminars, student and faculty
presentations and field research. |
