Judith Prochaska, Ph.D., M.P.H. is an Assistant Adjunct Professor in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry. Her research focuses on developing effective treatments for tobacco dependence and other leading health risk factors with a specific focus on populations with co-occurring disorders. Current studies include: (1) a NIDA-funded K23 career development award to evaluate extended treatment for tobacco dependence initiated in an inpatient psychiatric setting; (2) a TRDRP-funded project to develop and evaluate a tobacco cessation curriculum for psychiatry residency training programs; (3) an ACS-funded national survey of psychiatry residency training directors assessing the need for and interest in a tobacco cessation curriculum for residency training; and (4) investigation of a physical activity intervention for supporting smoking cessation through stress reduction, mood enhancement, and weight control, part of Dr. Sharon Hall’s two NIDA-funded trials.
