RESEARCH INTERESTS
Substantive interests: Body image, obesity, disordered eating, mental health; use of eHealth, smartphone apps, risk modelling, and ESM technology.
My research leverages cutting-edge technologies to enhance allocation, delivery, and client use of established treatments for common and costly public health issues. I use smartphone app-based technology to: (1) identify individual- and environmental-level determinants of mental and physical health, and then (2) deliver intervention content that directly targets these antecedents to poor mental health and lifestyle behaviours. My risk modeling provides greater precision for determining when to intervene and for whom, thus providing individualized, tailored interventions for individuals at time of greatest need. This approach allows principled, data-driven means for allocating patients to optimal treatment options.
