His research focuses on: (1) effects of physical and social environments on people's behavior and well-being; (2) social ecological analyses of health and the evaluation of workplace and community health promotion programs; and (3) factors that influence the effectiveness of transdisciplinary scientific collaborations. His research emphasizes a "transdisciplinary action research" approach in studying people's interactions with their everyday environments and translating scientific knowledge into strategies for resolving social problems and improving the design of sociophysical environments. Dr. Stokols is currently an IPA consultant with the National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and is working on the evaluation of large-scale transdiscipinary health research and training initiatives. He co-chaired the NCI-NIH Conference on "The Science of Team Science: Assessing the Value of Transdisciplinary Research" during October 2006 and co-edited a supplement issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine published in 2008 on the evaluation of team science initiatives. Dr. Stokols also conducts research on environmental and social psychological facets of the Internet and people's use of digital communications technologies.
