BROWN BAG SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP MEETING VI: SCIENCE OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE

The goal of prevention interventions is to modify behavior; yet, mechanisms that underlie behavior-change are not well understood. This Brown Bag discussion will highlight research conducted under the purview of researchers from the Science of Behavior Change program, which focuses on identifying, measuring, modifying, and validating mechanisms of behavior-change. Specifically, this discussion will focus on temporal discounting as a modifiable target to promote healthy behavior.
