Research Overview
Funded Research
Immunize Against Tobacco (Co-investigator) - This is a NCI/NIDA funded study testing the efficacy of a brief motivational counseling intervention to decrease the uptake of tobacco use among children ages 8-13. The intervention is being delivered in the context of a primary pediatric care (Hasbro Hospital). (Co- Investigator)
Check it Out (Co-investigator) - This is a NCI-funded study testing the efficacy of a health educator-delivered intervention to increase the frequency of skin self-exam among patients in primary care medical practices. Increased skin self-exam may reduce the morbidity of skin cancer by enhancing early identification and treatment. (Co-Investigator)
Moving Forward II - This NCI-funded study is testing the efficacy of a physical activity intervention that is offered to breast cancer survivors in the setting of follow-up oncology care. (Co-Investigator)
