Research Interests
-
My primary research program is devoted to finding ways to reduce the burden of suffering attributable to eating disorders. Additional lines of research focus on behavioral and psychological factors implicated in the development of obesity as well as developmental changes in eating behavior.
-
My current work pursues the question of why so many individuals receive no specific treatment for their eating disorder. My research team has described what we call the “eating disorder health services paradox” which involves high utilization of health services yet under utilization of care directed specifically to treating the eating disorder. We are exploring whether targeted care achieves both a reduction in eating disorder symptoms and in longer-term health services use. Additionally, as a member of the Eating Disorder Workgroup charged with reviewing how eating disorders are classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, my current research examines the empirical classification of eating disorders. My current research focuses on developing easily effective treatments for binge eating that are easily disseminable and cost-effective both from the personal perspective and the societal perspective.
