University of Michigan School of Public Health Ken Resnicow is the Irwin Rosenstock Professor of Health Behavior and Health Education at University of Michigan School of Public Health. His research interests include: the design and evaluation of health promotion programs for special populations, particularly chronic disease prevention for African Americans; tailored health communications; understanding the relationship between ethnicity and health behaviors; substance use prevention and harm reduction; training health professionals in motivational interviewing. Much of his work is informed by Chaos Theory, Complexity Science, and Self Determination Theory. He has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has served on numerous advisory panels and review groups. Dr. Resnicow presented a wealth of data on the benefits of ethnically tailored interventions, he highlighted a recent study investigating an African American self reported ethnic identity and the effectiveness of tailored health messages specific to fruit and vegetable consumption. The research team discovered that individuals who identify as highly Afrocentric and with a high level of cultural mistrust were most impacted by having tailored health messages, meaning that subgroup increased fruit and vegetable intake at a higher rate than the control group in the study.
