Marijn de Bruin is assistant professor communication methods. He graduated in Health Education and Health Promotion (Faculty of Health Sciences, Maastricht University). Next, he completed his PhD-thesis at the Faculty of Psychology of the same university. His applied psychological research focuses on the development and testing of theory- and evidence-based health promotion/behavior change interventions, with the main focus on supporting adherence to HIV/AIDS treatment. Other domains such as exercise behavior and (un)healthy eating also have his interest. Marijn has experience with qualitative and quantitative determinant studies of health behavior, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses. His work is strongly embedded in social psychological theories of behavior and behavior change. Additional interests: Theory development, self-regulation of behavior, facilitating evidence-based health care, counseling strategies, diffusion and implementation of effective health promotion programs, improved descriptions of behavior change interventions, and innovative methods for meta-analytic research to identify the effective content health communication messages.
