Research Interests
Dr. Voils, a social psychologist, uses qualitative and quantitative methodologies to study and improve treatment adherence. One area of interest is in developing and evaluating behavioral interventions to improve long-term weight loss. She has led multiple randomized trials of weight management interventions, with a particular focus on weight maintenance. She has been focusing on improving social support and providing financial incentives as behavioral strategies to promote long-term weight loss.
A second area of interest is genomics health services research. Dr. Voils led an RCT to evaluate the clinical utility of genetic testing for type 2 diabetes. She also led an RCT to evaluate effectiveness and implementation of an information technology innovation that collects patient-entered family history and provides decision support to patients and providers. She is currently PI of an evaluation of the VA’s PHASER pharmacogenomics program.
Dr. Voils developed a self-report measure of medication nonadherence that is currently being translated to other languages and disseminated in research and clinical settings in the United States and abroad. For more information about this measure, click here.
