About the course:

Health is a variable that plays a factor in all of our lives. Even with the rise of gloomy health statistics, much of applied behavior analysis literature and practice does not focus on improving physical health and wellness of consumers. A scientific approach to understanding areas such as physical activity and hunger can provide practitioners a new set of focus areas when applying behavior analysis. This course provides an in-depth understanding on how to define, measure, and improve physical health. Throughout the course, participants will learn preliminary steps on how a behavior analytic approach can improve their own, consumers’, or employees’ physical health and well-being.
