Areas of Research

The Risk Factor Monitoring and Methods Branch examines individual and societal risk factors that affect the cancer burden. Working collaboratively with representatives from government and academia, we monitor these factors among the population and develop tools and techniques to improve methods of assessment.

Our risk factor research activities are focused in several areas:

• Tobacco Use
• Dietary Intakes
• Weight, Height and Related Measures
• Physical Activity
• Genetics and Family History
• Sun Exposure
• Biomarkers
• Individualized Risk Assessment
• Health Disparities
