Family Medicine offers ample opportunity to simultaneously research numerous topics, and my current areas of research interest are COVID-19, wellness (including body composition & obesity management), cardiovascular disease (CVD), genetics/pharmacogenetics, addiction/chronic pain management, and social determinants of health. I have currently accumulated 7% time as Co-Investigator on a mobile health smoking cessation study and a clinical trial on the potential of kava in enabling smoking cessation. I am Site Principal Investigator on a grant called Cardiovascular Track pending NIH submission. CVD continues to be the greatest cause of disease burden in the US and worldwide, and national surveillance tools effectively monitor behaviors or outcomes related to CVD, but not both. CVH Track is a multi-institutional research initiative including UF OneFlorida to build a complex, modern surveillance system using real world data from the PCORnet Common Data Model and regular, modular behavioral surveys designed to track changes in behavior and outcomes that impact risk for CVD development, over time.
