Welcome
The Laboratory for Innovations in Health-Related Behavior Change is an academic center within the Department of Psychology at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.

Our core research projects include two NIH-funded weight loss intervention studies called Mind Your Health and Project ENACT.
