Research Interests
Health promotion; multiple risk behaviors (cigarette smoking;
poor quality diet and obesity, physical inactivity, stress and depression),
behavioral interventions, and e-technology Dr. Spring's research
aims towards understanding mechanisms that maintain unhealthy behaviors
in order to translate that knowledge into the development of effective
interventions that promote sustained healthful change. Most of her
group's ongoing work concerns health risk behaviors including cigarette
smoking, poor quality diet and physical inactivity. The research
begins with basic mechanism-oriented studies that aim to characterize
the psychobiological substrates that underpin an unhealthy behavior.
Then work progresses to clinical trials that intervene upon the
underlying mechanisms, test the consequences for healthy behavior
change, and examine the mechanisms that mediated healthful behavior
change.
A current research emphasis concerns identifying optimal ways
to modify several unhealthy behaviors at a time (for example, eating,
physical activity, and smoking). There is particular interest in
using electronic technology to extend the reach of behavioral interventions.
Other active areas of research concern health disparities, food
"addiction," and hard-to-reach smokers (with comorbid
psychopathology or weight concerns).
