PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Melissa M. Crane, PhD, is an expert in behavioral weight control interventions. She designs and evaluates innovative weight control programs that encourage small but sustainable changes in diet and physical activity to produce sustained weight loss. She is extending the reach of these programs to men, congregants from black churches, and other populations that are often difficult to engage. Her work in this area to date has been recognized nationally and internationally, and she has successfully competed for NIH funding to study strategies for engaging men working in blue-collar industries in weight management programs.
