Health Psychology and Research


Kimberly Swanson, PsyM, LPC

Psychology applies to health through research because it explains human behavior factors regarding possible causes, effects, and solutions. When AIDS was first discovered, no one knew what it was. The only thing known about the disease was that it was spreading and was becoming an epidemic during the 1980s. The study of human behavior and health helped pinpoint the exact source of how AIDS was being applied. This is an example of how psychological research identified the root causes for the spreading of the disease.
