Elizabeth Johnson, B.A.
My main research interests surround behavioral and psychosocial interventions for chronic health conditions such as cancer and diabetes. I am interested in exploring factors related to medical decision making, risk perception, and health-related behaviors (e.g., medical screening, diet, and exercise). Ultimately, my goal is to use social and health psychology to develop a results-driven approach to health promotion, treatment decision-making, and the prevention and management of disease.
