Welcome

The UCI Health Promotion Center is a research and consulting unit operating within the School of Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine. We are interested in all aspects of health promotion. Our research focuses on comprehensive, integrated approaches to health promotion, especially on workplace-based health promotion.

We have collected a wide variety of health promotion resources on our Information & Resource Kit, Publications, and Managers Guide to Workplace Wellness pages. In addition, we maintain links on a number of health related topics in our Links section.
