The Center for Health Behavior Research

The Center for Health Behavior Research (CHBR) is an interdisciplinary research-based Center that involves collaborative research among scientists at the University of Mississippi, health professionals in the surrounding area, and researchers across the country. The goals of the CHBR include fostering interdisciplinary research and conducting health-behavior research to improve the lives of individuals. Although the primary activities of the CHBR focus on physical activity and health-related research, other projects include research related to all health-enhancing behaviors, such as dietary behavior, alcohol use, sleep and smoking avoidance.
