Health-related decisions -- from diets to drug treatments -- can be influenced by factors such as cost, lifestyle, emotional state, regulation and the availability of information. Peter Ubel, a physician and behavioral scientist at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business, is trying to figure out how all these forces can be brought to bear to improve health care delivery.

Ubel will answer questions about his research on medical decision-making during a live “Office Hours” webcast interview beginning at noon on Friday, Feb. 25, on the Duke University Ustream channel.

Anyone can submit a question, before or during the webcast, for Ubel to answer. To do that, send an email to live@duke.edu, tweet with the tag #dukelive or post to the Duke University Facebook page.
