Brooke Wagner, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Population Health Sciences. After exercise physiology undergraduate and graduate degrees from Central Michigan University, she received her PhD from the University of Minnesota with an emphasis in Physical Activity and Health Promotion. Using a mixed methods approach, her dissertation helped to better understand how weight stigma may play a role in physical activity behavior in an adult population. Beyond weight stigma, her broader research interests are guided by three main pillars: 1) the role of physical activity in childhood obesity treatment and prevention, 2) improving physical activity behaviors, and 3) the intersection between healthcare and health fitness professionals in obesity treatment and prevention.
