Daniel Blalock
Associate Consulting Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral SciencesOverview
I am a research scientist and Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a background in health services research, clinical psychology, and experimental psychology. My research interests include 1) the evaluation of current integrated behavioral health settings in health care systems to optimize future implementation efforts, 2) the development of novel integrated behavioral health strategies tailored to specific populations and healthcare system needs, 3) broad processes of behavior change and self-regulation, and 4) psychometric measurement of patient reported outcomes and research methods/statistics.
These interests have taken the form of specific research endeavors involving: a) large nonrandomized investigations of electronic health records data, b) development and evaluation of telehealth interventions to improve self-management of mental and physical health behaviors, and c) evaluation of patient-reported outcomes through telehealth modalities and in primary care, specialty care, and higher level of care settings.
To date, the content domains of most of my research have involved substance use (specifically alcohol, opioids, and tobacco), health behaviors (specifically medication adherence), mental health (specifically anxiety, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders), and health services utilization.
