    Collapse Overview
    My research focuses on the development, assessment, and implementation of best practice care for preventing and managing chronic conditions treated in primary care settings, particularly those associated with elevated cardiovascular disease risk or heavy family caregiver burden. I have particular expertise in patient and family behavior change and self-management support, use of technology and marketing strategies, and the effective translation of evidence into practice. In my work I successfully collaborate with experts in physical activity and nutrition, caregiver and family dynamics, medical anthropology, social work, medical advertising, health systems operations, biostatistics, and implementation sciences.
