Dr. Jason Mendoza’s research seeks to improve outcomes for childhood physical activity and nutrition among a variety of populations, including people living with diabetes, cancer patients, and cancer survivors through innovative behavioral interventions and policies in school and home settings. His work uses approaches that places participants’ cultures centrally in research interventions and assessments via bidirectional, participatory methods with children and families. Dr. Mendoza’s projects include physical activity promotion (walking/biking to school, wearable physical activity trackers), screen time (TV) reduction, and examining the relationship of food insecurity to outcomes of disease (diabetes and cancer).
