Biography

Dr. Jason Lavender, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) and the Director of Behavioral Research for the Military Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (MiCOR) program with the Metis Foundation. At USU, Dr. Lavender's research focuses on eating and weight-related conditions, along with commonly co-occurring concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma) and overall psychosocial functioning, among members of the military family including active-duty Service members and dependents (offspring, spouses). His work also addresses transdiagnostic risk/maintenance factors for psychopathology (emotion and emotion dysregulation, personality/temperament, neurocognitive functioning) and unique factors related to the manifestation and assessment of eating disorder symptoms among boys and men. His interests further include assessment, measure development, psychometrics, and multi-method study designs, including integrating laboratory-based and real-world, real-time data collection methods (i.e., intensive longitudinal data collection, ecological momentary assessment). 

AWARE Study: Assessing the Wellbeing of Active-Duty Service Women (IRB #: 24-20672) --- Funded by the Center for Military Women's Health Research at USU, this investigation is recruiting a national sample of active-duty Service women to characterize the well-being and health of women in the military.
