  • Lecture: Multi-level etiologies of health in diverse populations, Part 3: Behavioral mechanisms

    Human behavior – from what we eat, to whether we exercise, to who are friends are- has a clear, and often measurable, impact on health. Research on differences in health across groups often points to differences in behaviors as underlying causes. In this lecture, we will review what is known about the role of behavior in producing differences in health across groups and relate these differences to the social determinants of health.
