RESEARCH Mission
| BOUNCE conducts rigorous, community-engaged research to reduce obesity and health
disparities among Hispanic and African American children, parents and seniors. We
examine how cultural, parental, psychological, and environmental factors influence
eating behaviors and physical activity, and design evidence-based, family-centered
interventions that integrate behavioral strategies, nutrition education, physical
activity, and technology. Through innovative assessment methods and strong community
partnerships, BOUNCE generates actionable insights and scalable solutions to improve
health outcomes across diverse communities in the Houston region. |
