Profiles Detail

Beth G. Wildman

Professor

Education: Ph.D., University of North Carolina - Greensboro (1977)

Research Area: Clinical - Child and Adolescent

Research Interests

Research focuses on improving pediatrician adherence to best practices, especially identification and intervention for children with behavioral problems by primary care pediatricians.  My graduate students and I are collaborating with pediatricians in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, the Emergency Department, Cystic Fibrosis clinic, and Oncology to examine adherence by pediatricians to best practices and adherence by parents and children to prescribed medical regimens.  Our research is guided by applying theories of change in primary care and theories of adoption of preventative practices, as well as theories related to adoption of health behaviors to improve pediatrician practice and parents adherence.
