What we are researching
Our research combines sophisticated assessment and analysis methods with health psychological theory and the views of people in the population. We investigate the interaction of behavioral, psychological, and social determinants of health and disease trajectories. We use these findings to develop and test population-oriented interventions to motivate health-promoting behavior and new health care concepts. In our current research projects, we are supported by funding from the German Cancer Aid, the German Research Foundation, and the Innovation Fund, among others.
