Research Interests

Julie has interests in projects related to young child nutrition, nutrition education (preschool, grade-school, college students, parents/caregivers, and adults), and learning in higher education. She has a strong interest in breastfeeding, and would like to expand her research experience in that field. New areas of interests have emerged from student research activities, such as dietary supplements, farmers markets, food addiction, and picky eating.

Current Projects

• Associations between breastfeeding experience, picky eating and bitter taster status among preschool-aged children.
• Use of dietary supplements and narcissistic attitudes among college-aged adults in northern California.
• Food addiction association to chronic disease status among Baby Boomers residing in California.
• Association of parental attitudes and restrictions during childhood on college students’ eating habits.

Recent Graduate Papers and Undergraduate Honors Projects

• The use of photographs during a focus group interview in assessing food preferences of preschoolers.
• Incidence of diet and fitness smartphone app use in a college population related to disordered eating and exercise behavior.
• Potential determinants of autonomy support among parents of school-age children with food allergies.
• Assessment of consumer attitudes on the use of farmers’ markets in northern and central California.
