I am completing my 19th year on the faculty at George Mason University, where I currently serve as a University Distinguished Professor of Communication and Director of the Center for Health and Risk Communication. I teach courses concerning Communication Research, Health Communication, Risk Communication, Interpersonal Communication, Organizational Communication, Consumer-Provider Health Communication, Health Communication Campaigns, and Digital Communication.
My active research program has been funded by many federal agencies, foundations, and organizations. I examine the influences of strategic evidence-based communication programs and practices on reducing health risks and enhancing health outcomes, with a focus on promoting health equity in society. I am an expert in community-based participatory research, health information dissemination, and the effective design and use of health information technologies. My frequently cited publications are reported in more than 570 books, articles, and chapters. I've served on many federal advisory boards, including the national FDA Risk Communication Advisory Committee, the CDC National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing, and Media Advisory Board, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program Scientific Advisory Board, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Systems for Action: Systems and Services to Build a Culture of Health Expert Review Panel. I currently serve as a scientific adviser to the NIH, CDC, VA, HRSA, WHO, and many other international health agencies, research firms, and foundations.
I've received a number of major research honors, including the Research Laureate Award from the American Academy of Health Behavior, the Outstanding Health Communication Scholar Award from both the International Communication Association and the National Communication Association (NCA), the Dale Brashers Mentorship Award from the NCA, the Gary Gumpert Urban Communication Research Award from the Urban Communication Foundation, the Health Communication Centennial Scholar Award from the Eastern Communication Association, the Pfizer Professorship in Clear Health Communication, the Lewis Donahue Outstanding Health Communication Scholar Award from the University of Kentucky, the Future of Health Technology Award, the Distinguished Achievement Award in Consumer Health Informatics and Online Health, and the Gerald M. Phillips Distinguished Applied Communication Scholar Award from the NCA. I've been selected as a Fellow of the International Communication Association, Fellow of the American Academy for Health Behavior, as well as a Distinguished Scholar of the National Communication Association.
Prior to joining the faculty at Mason, I had the pleasure of serving as the founding Chief of the Health Communication and Informatics Research Branch at the National Cancer Institute (NIH), where I planned, developed, and coordinated major new national research and outreach initiatives concerning risk communication, health promotion, behavior change, technology development, and information dissemination to promote effective cancer prevention, screening, control, care, and survivorship. I also served as the Founding Dean of the School of Communication at Hofstra University, Executive Director of the Greenspun School of Communication at UNLV, and in faculty and administrative roles at Northern Illinois, Rutgers, Indiana, and Purdue Universities.
