Since her arrival to University of South Carolina in 1999, much of Dr. Wilcox's
research has involved using community-engaged approaches to work with community
and clinical organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate behavioral,
theory-based interventions that are delivered via community- and clinical-based
settings. She is particularly interested in bringing interventions and products
to scale through dissemination and implementation (D&I) research. She has
both current and completed projects funded by the National Institutes of
Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Defense, and
the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She teaches courses in areas that overlap
with her research emphases - while at USC, she developed and has taught EXSC
410, Psychology of Physical Activity and EXSC 710, Behavioral Aspects of
Physical Activity.
