Research Interests
Dr. Brown's research focuses on behavioral interventions for diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevention in at-risk maternal and adult populations. This work targets meaningful patient engagement in preventive health behaviors, such as life-long healthy eating, physical activity, and weight management behaviors; and engagement in preventive healthcare services, such as recommended diabetes screening in healthcare systems. Her work also examines engagement in clinical research itself, such as strategies to improve participation in randomized clinical trials.
