Michael Todd, drawing on training in social psychology, health psychology, alcohol and tobacco use, daily process research, and statistical methods, serves as a collaborating statistician working primarily on externally-funded research projects with faculty and trainees in ASU’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation and College of Health Solutions. His interdisciplinary collaborations have generally focused on psychological well-being, health behaviors, and health-related physiological outcomes.
Among the currently funded projects Dr. Todd is working on are studies of interventions aimed at increasing physical activity in adults and children, understanding and improving nutrition-related behaviors in children and families, and enhancing the psychological well-being of cancer patients and individuals with early stage dementias as well as that of their caregivers.
