Understanding Risk, Improving Health: Leveraging Technology to Understand and Reduce Health-Risk Behaviors Across Adolescence and Young Adulthood — Frontiers of BrainHealth Lecture

Melissa A. Lewis, PhD – Professor, School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Arlington

Dana M. Litt, PhD – Professor, School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Arlington

Adolescence and young adulthood are critical developmental periods during which health-risk behaviors can emerge and become established, with important implications for long-term health and well-being. Advances in digital technology are transforming both how researchers identify the cognitive, social and contextual mechanisms underlying these behaviors and how interventions are developed and delivered to reduce risk.

Host: Franscesca F0ilbey, PhD
