Associate Professor

I am a psychiatric/mental health Registered Nurse by background.  My joint degree PhD in Nursing and Psychology included training in judgment and decision-making research methods.  My research focuses on health-related decision processes, shared decision-making of health care consumers/providers, and patient/consumer-centered interventions for improving decision-making and health-related outcomes. This includes basic health-related judgment/decision-making processes using laboratory-based survey methods, and the development and testing of interventions in primary care and community-based settings to improve the quality of patient/consumer and shared decision-making and associated health-related outcomes, for various health conditions, including depression.
