Faculty Presenters

Maureen George, PhD, RN, AE-C, FAAN Academic Appointments Associate Professor of Nursing at CUMC Dr. George's program of research focuses broadly on reducing health inequities in vulnerable populations with chronic respiratory disease. Particular areas of interest include community-based participatory research (CBPR) with poor and minority patients and their health care providers to understand how self-management preferences and patient-provider communication (shared decision-making, motivational interviewing, brief interventions) influence treatment choices (adherence). To the end, she uses community-informed strategies to address

obstacles to disease control, such as health beliefs, health literacy, and the built environment. She has extensive experience as a nurse scientist and behavioral scientist designing, testing and disseminating interventions informed by innovative qualitative, CBPR and mixed research methods.
