YMCA Weight Management and Healthy Eating -
Meet Jamy Ard, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Nutrition Sciences UAB
My current research interests include behavioral therapies that are focused on cardiovascular risk reduction. I have a special interest in the African American population and developing strategies for behavior modification that are culturally appropriate for this group. I also have a general interest in developing strategies that will improve African American participation and outcomes in clinical trials that deal with cardiovascular disease risk.
