Daniel Blalock
Assistant Consulting Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
I am a behavioral health researcher with a background in Clinical Psychology and Experimental Psychology. My research interests include broad processes of behavior change and self-regulation as well as psychometric measurement and research methods/statistics. My specific research endeavors include 1) the measurement and behavior change applicability of constructs related to self-control, 2) measurement and interventions to improve self-regulatory health behaviors including medication adherence and substance use, and 3) measure development and psychometrics as related to self-reported and patient-reported outcomes.
