Zusammenfassung:The behavioral and social sciences incorporate a number of disciplines, and each brings a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodologic approaches to its particular areas of study. At CDC, these sciences are represented primarily by psychology, sociology, anthropology, and economics that can use qualitative, quantitative, or multiple methods to explore the effects of behavioral, social, cultural factors on public health problems through intervention research, program evaluation, and policy analysis. Holtzman et al discuss the contributions of behavioral and social science to CDC.
