Leonard Epstein, PhD
Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics and Social and Preventive Medicine

Obesity involves a series of choices that involve consuming too many calories and not getting enough exercise. Behavioral choice theory is designed to understand choice processes, and a substantial research base has developed to use behavioral choice theory to prevent and treat obesity. Dr. Leonard Epstein will present examples from this work, including research to prevent and treat obesity. He will also discuss the use of price manipulations to improve food consumption.
