    • Assignment: Please respond via email to Irene Yen at irene.yen@ucsf.edu  before class on April 30:

      Which health behaviors were featured in this week’s assigned readings?

      1. Are any of these behaviors important for your health outcome of interest? Please explain the importance of one of the behaviors either for etiology, prevention, or intervention. If none of the behaviors in the readings are important for your health outcome, suggest another behavior that is.
      2. Describe how you would study the role of the behavior and your outcome of interest. Incorporate a social factor (e.g. race/ethnicity, social exclusion, stress) in the study.

      If key health behaviors (e.g. smoking, exercise, nutritious diet) are strongly influenced by neighborhood, income, and education, do we need to continue to study how these behaviors influence health outcomes? Why or why not?
