Research and Teaching Interests

Since her arrival to USC 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.
