Welcome to the Research and Innovation in Social Technology and Health Equity (RISE) Lab at Texas A&M University.
Led by Dr. Shawn Chiang at Texas A&M University, the RISE lab is centered on translational cancer communication science, with a focus on digital communication strategies to translate evidence-based cancer prevention behaviors into practice among vulnerable communities. We view the digital media environment as a social determinant of health and engage with community members to understand their barriers, and design culturally responsive behavioral and communication interventions so they can attain the opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
