## Abstract

Project Summary / Abstract: Behavioral Measurement and Interventions Shared Resource (BMISR)
The goal of the Behavioral Measurement and Interventions Shared Resource (BMISR) is to ensure the highest
possible standards of health behavior research related to cancer risk, prevention, and survivorship, and has
supported University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) investigators for over 30 years. In the area of service, the
BMISR provides professional consultation on behavioral research design, instrument selection and administration,
and analysis and interpretation of behavioral data as well as providing programming support for behavioral data
capture, quality control, management and output. The service also supports the activation of study-specific
multimodal software platforms (i.e., telephone, SMS, email, social media) for behavioral intervention research as
well as behavioral intervention coaching. In the area of education and training, BMISR delivers relevant expertise
for and access to equipment and instruments for data collection and management in the areas of diet, physical
activity, body composition (i.e., dual X-ray absorptiometry, bioelectrical impedance), tobacco exposure, solar
protection, sexual practices, cancer screening, lifestyle risk factors, mobile health technology, and quality of life
assessment. The BMISR is committed to training research scientists, research personnel and students at all
academic levels in behavioral research methodologies. The BMISR's innovative work has included development
of new instruments, particularly those targeting our catchment area such as food and activity questionnaires for
Hispanics, Native Americans, as well as mHealth messaging systems for use in skin cancer prevention. The
BMISR supports the development of new or refined technologies for behavioral measurements and assessment of
their change as a result of interventions in the context of cancer prevention and survivorship research.
