The CHBR is now the host of the Outcomes, Methods and Measurements Core (OMMC), a consultation service to health behavior researchers throughout the University of Pennsylvania. Experts in the fields of health behavior measurement, intervention, survey development, and psychometrics provide clients with expertise and knowledge critical to successful behavioral research. Some consultations are also provided by CHBR. Please click here to learn more and request a consultation.
