Symposium on Addictive & Health Behaviors Research

Welcome

     The University of Florida’s Addictive & Health Behaviors Research Institute and Mayo Clinic host the 3rd Symposium on Addictive & Health Behaviors Research titled Health Behavior Intervention: Combining Research and Practice, in partnership with The American Academy of Health Behavior. This is the first year that the Symposium will be open to national participation, and the first time it will be held at the beautiful Amelia Island Plantation Resort in northeast Florida, September 24th and 25th, 2007.

      The 3rd Symposium will provide a forum for the multi-disciplinary exchange of both scientific and application knowledge of health behavior intervention. This year’s Symposium is designed to provide health professionals and researchers with state-of-the-art research knowledge and practical solutions on developing, implementing, evaluating, and disseminating successful interventions for affecting addictive and health behaviors. Nationally recognized researchers will present leading scientific information on behavior specific interventions, as well as cross-cutting intervention topics.

      The 3rd Symposium on Addictive & Health Behaviors Research is a two-day meeting involving in-depth presentations from invited researchers with allotted time for audience-researcher interaction, lunch roundtables permitting small group discussions with invited speakers, and an evening reception showcasing poster research and permitting researchers and practitioners to socialize and network. Previous symposia have been broadly attended by addictions specialists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, health educators, public health specialists, nurses, physicians, researchers, and students.
