Activities

My research interests involve childhood and adolescent obesity including the evaluation of pediatric weight management programs and identifying patient characteristics that predict treatment outcomes. I also have a strong interest in quality improvement initiatives, such as creating evidence-based algorithms for screening, diagnosing and treating pediatric endocrine conditions as well as developing patient educational material.
