Dr. Adams’ research focuses on the evaluation of prevention and treatment interventions related to nutrition and weight management and the development and dissemination of best practice guidelines. She works with populations who are disproportionally affected by obesity and chronic diseases for the purpose of designing effective and culturally appropriate interventions. Her research in critical thinking has led to the development and implementation of a critical thinking model to empower individuals to make healthy lifestyle changes. She has published this model and methods for assessing critical thinking in nutrition settings.
Dr. Adams received the Distinguished Research Award from The African American Studies and Research Program at the University of Kentucky in recognition of exceptional contributions to research and scholarship on the human condition.
