Sr. Associate Dean and Professor
Research Interests
- My research focuses on studying the role of public policy and law on communities, systems, schools, and individual behaviors and health-related outcomes. Most of my research studies policies at the state, county, municipal and school district levels nationwide, their impact on the community/ system/school, and on individual attitudes and health-related outcomes.
- My research is funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Department of Agriculture, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Examples of the policies that I study include zoning and land use policies, beverage taxation, school wellness-related issues, tobacco control policy issues, diet and nutrition policy, physical activity, policy, and many other chronic disease-related issues. My research has provided a rationale for three recent federal regulations.
