Current Research Interests
Dr. Jones is developing and evaluating innovative prevention and early-intervention programs for eating disorders and obesity. She uses Internet-facilitated interventions to help prevent the onset of disorders in high-risk populations. Dr. Jones has developed models of population-based interventions for eating disorders, obesity, and healthy weight regulation that allow delivery of individualized programs to all participants simultaneously within defined populations. She has adapted Family-Based Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa for prevention and early intervention of eating disorders. Dr. Jones currently directs the Stanford Healthy Body Image Program where she provides educational programs for body image improvement and healthy weight management and implements a stepped-care model for eating disorders prevention and treatment. Dr. Jones also provides clinical services for patients in the Eating Disorders Program and supervises and teaches psychology and psychiatry trainees, medical students, and undergraduate students.
