Lab

Dr. Potter is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences. Her research extends the use of novel methodological/technological approaches (e.g., wearable sensors, ecological momentary assessment [EMA]) to examine how interpersonal, intrapersonal, and contextual factors influence stress, health behaviors, and other indicators of health risk. Most notably, her mHealth research on real-time factors contributing to differences in tobacco cessation informs the development of Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) targeting risk for cancer and other chronic diseases.

Dr. Potter received her PhD in Biobehavioral Health from the Pennsylvania State University, where she was a NIDA T32 predoctoral fellow in the Prevention and Methodology Center Training program. Lindsey also has a Master’s degree in Public Health from Drexel University. She completed her postdoctoral training in the Department of Population Health Sciences and Center for HOPE at Huntsman Cancer Institute, where she was a scholar in the Center for Clinical and Translational Science TL1 program, and received a K99/R00 from the National Cancer Institute.
