CHAI Core: Behavioral Assessment
CHAI Core’s behavioral assessment services (formerly known as DPAC) ensure that investigators use the latest methods for diet and physical activity assessment in their research studies, and allow them to utilize the infrastructure (personnel, software, and equipment) that exists within the Core rather than create their own duplicate capacity.
