| Research Interests: | I have published in the areas of health psychology, teaching, and collective violence. Currently I investigate brief psychosocial interventions to promote preventive health behaviors. Recent topics include reduction of skin cancer risk, promotion of breast self-examinations, completion of advance health care directives, and dietary compliance in gastric bypass patients. I also have written articles on training graduate students to teach and on consultation with new instructors. | ||||
