It's #MemberMonday! Dr. Jamie Faro, PhD, MS @faro_jamie is an Assistant Prof at @UMassChan. Her research focuses on increasing physical activity in chronic disease populations through dissemination & implementation science methods, wearables, & clinic-community collaborations.
Check out our new paper on delivering clinic-based physical activity referrals to cancer survivors by partnering with LIVESTRONG at the Y and @patplabcsu #TBM academic.oup.com/tbm/advance…
Our UMass providers are passionate about integrating physical activity data into EHR. Excited to partner with them on this work!

RCT: Adults who smoke with access to viral peer-recruitment tools (but not #MachineLearning-based selection) had improved 6-month smoking cessation outcomes (45%) compared to those with no access (31%). ja.ma/3Gyy9kR
Feeling inspired after two in-person D+I events this month and receiving a K01 award from NHLBI to carry out my implementation work decreasing cancer survivors CVD risk by incorporating physical activity referral choices into survivorship clinical care!
