[#DIV28SUPER] Doctoral Program in Health Behavior at the University of Florida: Priority Deadline, December 1st

 

Dear Students and Colleagues,

 

The Department of Health Education & Behavior is recruiting new students for our doctoral program in health behavior! Learn more about the exciting research we are conducting in the addictions, HIV, sexual behavior, nutrition, obesity and physical activity. Our research includes observational/survey, experimental and randomized controlled trial methods. Several faculty have interest in assessment and interventions involving mobile health (mHealth) as well. Our department and university have outstanding training resources for graduate students. If these research areas are of interest and clinical training is not a high priority, you might be a great fit for our program.

Robert Leeman, Ph.D.: etiology and interventions (primarily technology-based) for substance misuse and HIV prevention
