Research interests in the field of behavioral, psychosocial, and policy cancer research.

The growth of research in behavioral, psychosocial, and policy aspects of cancer is quite evident through examination of the literature. Although it is necessary to recognize the importance of past achievements in these areas, it is equally essential to identify the current interests and future areas that will form a new research agenda. The present study is the first attempt to shed light on these issues by surveying a group of behavioral, psychosocial and policy researchers from 1997 (n=714) and 2002 (n=1102).
