Expertise and Research Interests

Obesity, Nutrition and Epidemiology

Dr. Stevens is a nutrition epidemiologist with a large research program focusing on the causes, consequences, and prevention of obesity in different populations. She has special interests in minority health, anthropometry, and physical activity. Through her work at the Collaborative Studies Coordinating Center, she has access to obesity-related information from several large, multi-center studies. She is the Principal Investigator of the Coordinating Center for two national trials that examine obesity and physical activity in children and adolescents.

She has served as a councilor for the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, Vice President of Scientific Affairs for the International Association for the Study of Obesity and on expert panels for the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, the Institute of Medicine and the World Health Organization.
