What the Behavioral Research Center Does

What is the Behavioral Research Center doing about the issues and problems of cancer?

Tobacco

Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S., it is responsible for one in five (438,000) deaths every year, and increases the risk of 12 cancers.

Quality of Life

Quality-of-life issues among persons touched by cancer are not fully understood, and evidence-based interventions are needed.

Survivorship

We know too little about the quality of life, health behaviors, and health care of cancer survivors.
