Health is defined as the "complete state of physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmary" (WHO, 1948). Optimum health encompasses a balance between emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being.
The REACH Lab examines health from a broad lens and focuses on understanding factors influencing health and health outcomes. This includes understanding and changing perceptions about health professions, specifically in psychology, examining the effectiveness of training programs in increasing the biomedical research workforce, and exploring health promoting and health compromising behaviors and psychosocial constructs influencing them.
