The Centre for Behavioural Research in Cancer (CBRC) develops knowledge regarding the behavioural aspects of cancer control, in order to help achieve the greatest possible enhancement in health outcomes for all Victorians.
This research series covers several categories of behavioural research, including the description and measurement of cancer-related behaviours (eg. surveys of prevalence of smoking in children and adults); evaluations of cancer-related prevention programs (eg. Quit campaign evaluations); and the effects of the environment on cancer-related behaviours (eg. smoking bans on smoking behaviour).
