The social and behavioral sciences in public health address the behavioral, social and cultural factors related to individual and population health and health disparities over the life course. Research and practice in this area contributes to the development, administration and evaluation of programs and policies in public health and health services to promote and sustain healthy environments and healthy lives for individuals and populations. My presentation will review the content of the CPH exam related to behavioral and social sciences. It will also provide study tips and other resources for CPH candidates.
