Improving the Nation's HealthThrough Behavioral and Social Sciences Research

Congressional Reception and Exhibition

 

"Imagine living in a nation where one out of every two adults smoked cigarettes, where depression and substance abuse were mysterious and poorly-understood conditions, and where children's developmental problems were automatically blamed on bad parenting. Just a few short decades ago, this imagined world was reality. Social and behavioral research supported by the NIH . . . has made significant contributions to improving our nation's health."
