General Statement

The Center for Health and Safety Culture (CHSC) is an interdisciplinary center serving communities and organizations through research, training, and support services to cultivate healthy and safe cultures. We are a highly motivated and collaborative center that is passionate about serving communities to improve their quality of life.

This new member will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers who are dedicated to each other and the mission to serve organizations and communities in the public health areas of traffic safety, interpersonal violence, substance misuse, and child wellbeing.

Program

Our research focuses on understanding how culture impacts behavior – especially behavior associated with health and safety. Our work is grounded in a behavioral model based on the social environment and the influence of culture defined as the belief system shared within an identified group. This broadly operating model to measure, analyze, and transform culture is called “Positive Culture Framework” (PCF).
