Sarah Stahl, PhD, Elected as a Fellow to the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research
We are pleased to announce that Sarah Stahl, PhD (Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Assistant Professor of Clinical and Translational Science), has been elected a fellow of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research (ABMR). The ABMR’s mission is to advance the field of behavioral medicine by creating and disseminating knowledge, cultivating discourse, and inspiring change that culminates in better health for all.
An expert in geriatric psychiatry, Dr. Stahl investigates risk factors for poor health outcomes in older adults, as well as their underlying mechanisms and the development of interventions to alter those outcomes. Her research focuses on understanding changes in the daily rhythms of health behaviors in the wake of stressful life events such as spousal bereavement and dementia caregiving, which frequently occur later in life. Dr. Stahl has identified novel risk factors for late-life depression that deal with psychological or interpersonal mechanisms, as well as with brain function.
Congratulations, Dr. Stahl!
