Research Narrative
Dr. Sorofman’s primary research centers on health behavior theory in the context of treatment-oriented health care practices (actions) by patients. Therefore, studies are directed at the lay-oriented health care system. A second, complementary research interest is related to the system of pharmacy in society as it relates to access and impact on care. The content of the research usually covers one or more of the following areas: self-care, pharmacy, gerontology, rural health care, medication adherence and interdisciplinary teams.
