Turner-McGrievy, Gabrielle
Professor
My research focuses on discovering ways to help people eat healthier, lose weight, and prevent chronic disease. To achieve this goal, I explore ways to use emerging technology to assist with dietary self-monitoring, physical activity tracking, and provision of social support. My research also focuses on dietary approaches that do not require dietary self-monitoring, such as plant-based diets. My work is with traditionally underrepresented populations, particularly African Americans.
