Basic
Pathways Linking Behavior and Disease
 The
session on "Basic Pathways Linking Behavior and Disease" is one of two
themes for PMBC  Summer Institutes.
Institute objectives are to:
1)
provide an introduction to the ways in which behavioral factors or biobehavioral
processes
 cause
disease or affect pathophysiology, including identification of basic pathways
linking
health
and behavior and sources of complexity inherent in studying them;
2)
describe and critically evaluate methodological approaches to the study
of behavior and
diseases
such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and infectious illnesses;
3)
provide knowledge and skills necessary for building etiological models
of disease progression
that
feature behavioral factors as key components; and
4)
integrate conceptual models describing health and behavior relationships
across disease types
and
population subgroups.
