Welcome to the Center for Health and Behavior at Syracuse University!

At the Center, we do all of the following:

  • research the behavioral and psychosocial aspects of health;
  • study the health effects of aging, alcohol use, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, HIV, smoking, and stress;
  • develop and evaluate programs to promote health in children, adolescents, college students, adults, and families; and
  • include undergraduate and graduate students as well as other trainees in our work.
  • Our research occurs in laboratories, hospitals, schools, and community-based agencies as well as in collaboration with colleagues in the U. S. and abroad.

    This work is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and other funding sources.

    We invite you to explore our pages. Thank you for visiting!
