Professional Statement
Teresia O’Connor is a board certified, practicing general pediatrician and fellowship trained clinician researcher. Her research focuses ona) Identifying strategies to best prevent and treat childhood obesity.
b) Providing better understanding of how parents (fathers and mothers) influence their children’s obesity-related behaviors through the framework of parenting styles and parenting practices.
c) Assessing how to use technology to improve the measurement of children’s obesity-related behaviors.
Much of her research is done under the auspice of promoting health equity among children in the Houston area, with a primary focus on Hispanic populations and culturally tailored approaches. She worked with a team to culturally adapt an obesity intervention targeting fathers and their 5-11 year old children, Healthy Dads Healthy Kids, for Hispanic families using the Ecological Validity Model to frame the adaptation (R34 HL131726-01). The efficacy of the resulting program, Papás Saludables Niños Saludables, is currently being assessed in a community based randomized clinical trial (R61/R33 HL155015). In collaboration with electrical engineers at Rice University, we developed a novel system to passively assess children’s technology and digital media use across devices (R01 DK113269, O’Connor/Veeraraghavan (co-PI)). Using a team science approach, our team of behavioral researchers integrated with the engineers to developed and test the machine learning approach that makes up FLASH-TV and validated the new methods among youth. The technology we developed are currently being used with other approaches to directly and passively measure technology and digital media use among a cohort of preschool children to assess its association to their sleep, weight status and executive functioning over the following 12 months (P01 HD109876).
