Zilber School of Public Health, the doctoral program in Public Health with a concentration in Community and Behavioral Health Promotion (CBHP) is designed for students to conduct research with faculty who hold expertise in social and behavioral science aspects of critical public health research areas. Current research and community intervention interest areas include maternal, infant, and child health, adolescent health, teen parents, health disparities, obesity, nutrition, food security, HIV and STDs, substance abuse, built environment, and mental health. Career Prospects Career prospects for doctoral-prepared experts in community and behavioral health promotion are excellent. Expertise in community, social, and behavioral determinants of health and illness allows one to contribute to public health efforts worldwide and to increase the impact of those efforts by working effectively with communities as they adopt new strategies to increase health and well-being. Graduates from the PhD in Public Health, Community and Behavioral Health Promotion, program will be well prepared with adaptable and marketable skills for employment opportunities in a variety of settings including government, academia, and community-based organizations. Collaboration Faculty in the CBHP program collaborate with a wide range of academic, health care, community, and governmental partners in the state and the greater Milwaukee community, including the City of Milwaukee Health Department. Through these collaborations, students will have opportunities to work in different settings for public health research and practice, putting to use the knowledge and skills they acquire in the classroom to make a difference. At the same time, they will be developing leadership and collaborative skills to become effective public health scientist-practitioners.
