L. Alison Phillips

I am a social and health psychologist, trained in the social and individual processes involved in attitude and belief formation, communication and decision-making, and behavior change.

In particular, I study health-related habits, particularly medication adherence and regular physical activity in populations with chronic illness, such as US military Veterans with "pervasive physical symptoms", and people with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and stroke.
