Research Interests
Professor, Department of Nutrition. (PhD in Health Behavior and Health Education, University of North Carolina, 1992; MPH., University of North Carolina, 1977) Dr. Campbell’s research focuses on nutrition behavior change for health promotion and disease prevention. She is currently investigating health communication strategies aimed at reducing risk factors for cancer and chronic diseases in minority and underserved communities: 1) effectiveness of computer- generated, individually tailored nutrition education programs on dietary assessment and psychosocial theories of behavior change in promoting dietary changes for disease prevention, 2) use of a lay-health-adviser approach to increase social support for behavior changes; 3) impact of organization and environmental approaches to encouraging healthy behaviors. Dr. Campbell is a member of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, the American Public Health Association, and is program leader for prevention and control at the Lineberger Cancer Center.
