- Abstract
The article focuses on the initiatives of the American Academy of Health Behavior (AAHB) to establish doctoral research competencies. The current insufficiency in research capacity underscores the need for clearly articulated doctoral-level criteria to train and mentor the next generation of health behavior researchers. Unfortunately, at this time there are few standards available to guide doctoral level research training in health promotion and disease prevention. Although all doctoral programs have a research component, a variety of degrees are conferred upon those engaged in health behavior research.
