Dr. Theodore V. Cooper
My global research interests are in the areas of disease prevention and health promotion. More specifically, I focus on issues in the prevention and treatment of clinical health including: tobacco use and cessation, other addictive behaviors, cancer prevention, obesity and sedentary behavior, and sexual risk.
