Amy Hughes Lansing, PhD
Assistant Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Vermont
Dr. Hughes Lansing is a pediatric (child clinical health) psychologist. Her primary research interest is in examining complex biosocial systems underlying daily health behaviors in youths and families and translating that knowledge into highly scalable and pragmatic digital health interventions. She adopts an interdisciplinary and micro-analytic approach to investigating biobehavioral and social mechanisms that undergird health behavior regulation in the daily life of youths with chronic health conditions and youths at risk for substance abuse. Dr. Hughes Lansing’s research uses advanced technologies and methods to examine and intervene in daily health behaviors including: mobile sensing, intensive longitudinal modeling, neuroimaging, and technology-delivered interventions.
Outside of the lab, Dr. Hughes Lansing enjoys exploring the outdoors, hiking, camping, and skiing throughout the seasons.
