Dr. Miller's research examines how and why people make behavioral change. The development, implementation and evaluation of behavior change interventions, primarily for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, using theoretical models of change is a primary focus of research. The relationships among behavior, health-related outcomes, and mediating variables which promote and sustain behavioral change are examined.
Qualitative research for program development, instrument development and validation, instructional design for educational programs, and program evaluation are also conducted.
The relation among dietary intake, dietary patterns and health outcomes is examined through dietary assessment techniques.
