HABIT

Vol. 6 No. 10


Dear Colleagues,

“Living conditions, lifestyles, personal relationships and social and economic policies have a profound effect on our health and the health of our communities.”

That was the theme of this month’s American Public Health Association in San Francisco and, of course, it’s an idea that the Center has been advocating for more than a decade. We applaud the amazing amount of biobehavioral research presented by more than 13,000 of our colleagues. This issue contains just a few of the studies discussed at this year’s meeting.

Hope your holiday season is off to a good start,

Cheers --


Jessie Gruman, Ph.D.
President and Executive Director
Center for the Advancement of Health
