Background

Lindsay Martin, MA, is a Research Associate in the Division of General Internal Medicine with a focus on promoting health behavior change to reduce cardiovascular disease and obesity and improve quality of life across populations. Her work specifically involves:

  1. Developing, adapting and testing innovative behavioral and technology-based interventions for managing weight and wellness during pregnancy and postpartum;
  2. Examining the independent and combined effects of behavioral approaches and digital tools for health behavior change;
  3. And devising and testing innovative solutions for remote data capture.

Ongoing trials she supports involve examining the effectiveness and implementation of the “Healthy for Two” health coaching + mHealth behavioral intervention integrated into routine prenatal care and early home visiting services for limiting gestational weight gain and postpartum weight retention in high-risk individuals with increased exposure to negative social determinants. She recently collaborated on an AHA-funded multi-site cohort study using a mobile app to examine the impact of timing of eating and sleeping intervals on weight. She serves as a consultant supporting electronic data capture and management processes for several clinical trials in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity.
