Healthy Choices: How We Perceive Medical Risks

If you’ve ever debated whether or not to get a flu shot, chances are you weighed the risks of the shot with the benefits. Our decisions regarding such medical issues are heavily influenced by our perceptions of risk and consequences. Psychologist Gretchen Chapman probes how our minds work when we make medical decisions for ourselves and our loved ones.

Gretchen Chapman, Chair and Professor, Psychology, School of Arts and Sciences

Professor Chapman’s research focuses on medical decisions, especially those involving vaccinations. With funding from the National Science Foundation, she explores how people make decisions about their own health care and on behalf of someone else. She is also studying decisions concerning the antiviral treatment for pandemic bird flu and the new vaccine that prevents cervical cancer.
