Korey K. Hood, PhD, Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine

Research Description:  Dr. Hood is a licensed clinical psychologist and is part of the diabetes care team at Stanford. He is the past chair of the American Diabetes Association’s Behavioral Medicine and Psychology Interest Group and is current chair of the ADA special interest group on behavioral medicine and member of the research policy committee. Dr. Hood’s research program over the past 13 years has made important contributions to the understanding of psychosocial aspects of diabetes management, and how these factors contribute to disease outcomes. There are two content threads to his work: 1) construct prevention and treatment programs to address modifiable psychological and family factors that create barriers to optimal diabetes management, and 2) optimize the use of devices and technologies to improve outcomes. Dr. Hood’s group collaborates locally and nationally with multiple NIDDK funded investigators and has advanced expertise in study design, methodology, and statistics. Dr. Hood is also co-leader of the Bioengineering & Behavioral Sciences Research Affinity Group in SDRC, and serves on the SDRC Executive Committee.
