Research Interests
Dr. Jensen's program of research addresses pediatric health promotion and health risk behaviors. He has primarily focused his research efforts on (a) developing and evaluating behavioral weight control programs for children and adolescents, (b) investigating the psychological and social experiences of overweight and obese youth (e.g., peer victimization; quality of life), (c) assessing the utility of innovative technologies in pediatric obesity prevention and intervention, and (d) examining brain processes relevant to weight-related pediatric behavior. Dr. Jensen has also begun conducting research in pediatric diabetes management.
