| Dr. Lynn Tepper's research focuses on the behavioral aspects of health promotion, with emphasis on health behaviors such as tobacco use and aging. With more than 20 professional papers, book chapters, and textbooks, important products of her research have been the development of multidisciplinary health behavior assessment instruments, in both English and Spanish, for people who use tobacco products, as well as the testing of interventional protocols, which have been proven successful with older patients. Dr. Tepper is the primary investigator for three NIH-funded projects, and two U.S. Department of Education grants. In addition to her Mailman School responsibilities, she heads the Institute of Gerontology at Mercy College, which focuses on minority health and community outreach.
