Jesse Dallery aims to make evidence-based treatment accessible to everyone
With a fascination for natural sciences, Jesse Dallery, Ph.D., once thought he might become an astronomer.
“But then I thought there was still a lot to know about human behavior as well, not just the universe,” he jokes. “I wanted to understand behavior and how we can help people live more fulfilling lives.”
With a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Emory University, Dallery now applies his expertise to developing technology-based interventions to change behaviors, such as helping people quit using tobacco.
A member of the UF Health Cancer Institute, he is a co-principal investigator with Ramzi Salloum, Ph.D., on the Promote Up study, a five-year comparative effectiveness trial funded by Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
