Dr. von Klinggraeff’s (Dr. vK) research aims to ensure all children have the opportunity to grow up healthy. Her team focuses on developing and implementing effective, scalable interventions that improve children’s cardiovascular health. Specifically, they study the relationship between access to out-of-school programing (e.g., afterschool care, summer day camp), how this influences engagement in health-promoting behaviors (e.g., physical activity and quality sleep), and its subsequent effects on weight and cardiovascular health.
Students interested in working with Dr.vK should email her directly.
