Dr. Dye has been a Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator on several studies investigating physical activity, dietary behaviors and chronic disease self-management behaviors of various population groups such as African Americans and rural seniors. In her research, Dr. Dye frequently employs the use of lay health advisors who are indigenous to the local community. She is currently the Primary Investigator on a project funded by the federal DHHS Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). In this project with Co-Investigator, Dr. Deborah Willoughby, “Helping Rural Elders Transition From Home Health to Chronic Disease Self Management Through Paraprofessional Outreach”, community members are trained as Health Coaches to mentor older adults in rural areas to manage their diabetes, cardiovascular disease and congestive heart failure. She is also a co-investigator on the NIH-funded grant, “Community Networks to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities” in which she is leading a project to reduce cancer risk among African American church members by improving nutritional practices. |
