A training program focused on developing a deep understanding of the behavioral factors that influence decisions in health, applying insights from behavioral economics to promote more effective and informed choices in public health.
By the end of the training, participants will have learned to recognize the merits and limitations of traditional economic approaches and to apply them discerningly in healthcare decisions. They will develop the ability to identify deviations from rational behavior and biases in health choices, gaining valuable insights into how these affect lifestyles and treatment decisions.

Behavioral experiments in health;
Health behaviors: alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, diet and exercise;
