Dr. Sauder is an Biobehavioral and Implementation Scientist who studies how nutrition and other modifiable factors contribute to chronic disease in women and children. Dr. Sauder uses observational and intervention methods to identify and test health behavior prevention strategies with potential for widespread implementation. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Association. Her work spans the intergenerational cycle, including pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence and child-bearing years. Dr. Sauder partners with fellow researchers, staff members, clinical providers, and community representatives to identify health-related needs in under-resourced communities. Their shared vision is to break the cycle of intergenerational obesity and diabetes through improved nutrition and health behaviors during pivotal lifestages. Dr. Sauder is currently evaluating sustainable programs to improve nutrition and health behaviors in American Indian children, rural-dwelling children, under-resourced pregnant women, and under-resourced women of child-bearing age.
