Personal profile
Dr. Berge’s research expertise includes: (1) identifying risk and protective factors for childhood and adolescent obesity in the home environment; (2) developing and testing innovative mixed-methods for measuring and intervening on home environment factors of importance to child and adolescent weight and weight-related behaviors (e.g., ecological momentary assessment (EMA)/intervention (EMI), direct video-recorded observations); and (3) testing family-based and culturally tailored interventions to reduce childhood and adolescent obesity disparities by race/ethnicity delivered through primary care settings. Dr. Berge has received several NIH-funded grants (i.e., R03, R21, R56, R01) to utilize her multidisciplinary expertise and innovative mixed methods in both observational and intervention studies. She has published over 150 articles in high impact journals on these topics. Many of her published findings have also received considerable media attention, allowing for the general public to be informed of her research findings. Dr. Berge is also a behavioral health clinician at the family medicine/primary care residency clinics in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health. She is a core faculty member who trains both medical residents and behavioral health interns in integrated care to provide more holistic care for patients. The clinical research she conducts is translational so that results can be immediately useful for patient care.
