OUTLINE

In the Division of the Health Behavioral Epidemiology, our research should be conducted in line with the "now" social demands. To clarify the factors related to "behavior for promoting health", "unhealthy behavior", "promotion of health improvement", and "improvement of living environment", and to achieve behavioral change (changing healthy behavior for the better). We will work to build a strategy and return the results to society.

The Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, Tohoku University advocates "medical recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake" and "promotion of individualized prevention and medical care". Among them, as a cohort of 50,000 community residents, from the management and operation of the Community-based Cohort Study, collecting high-quality data, recovering medical care in the affected areas, and promoting prevention of disease and medical care in Japan. We will contribute to build of new evidence from the perspective of research hypotheses.

This division will place importance on enhancing own research by utilizing the human resources exchange and international collaboration research of Tohoku University. There is a lot of "learning" by coming into contact with multiculturalism and communicating with multicultural researchers. We will develop high-level education and research in this division.

健康行動疫学分野では、「今」の社会的要請に即した研究を行うべきと考えています。「健康増進のための行動」「不健康な行動」「健康向上の促進」「生活環境の改善」に関する要因を明らかにし、行動変容（健康行動をより良い方向へ変化させること）を達成するための方略を構築し、その結果を社会に還元できるよう取り組んでいきます。

東北大学東北メディカル・メガバンク機構は「震災からの医療復興」、「個別化予防・医療の推進」を掲げています。その中で、5万人規模の地域住民コホート担当として、地域住民コホート調査の管理・運営、質の高いデータの収集から、被災地の医療復興、未来型医療の推進のために新しいエビデンスの構築に貢献していきます。

本分野は東北大学の人材交流・国際共同研究環境を活かして自身の研究を高めていくことを重要視していきます。多文化に触れ、多文化の研究者とコミュニケーションをとることで多くの「学び」があります。本分野ではハイレベルな教育研究を展開していきます。
