Biography

Dr. Dale Bond is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown Alpert Medical School and The Miriam Hospital. He earned his Ph.D. in health promotion and education from the University of Utah and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at The Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center prior to becoming a research faculty member.

Dr. Bond's main area of research concerns behavioral aspects of bariatric surgery, with particular emphasis on behavioral interventions to increase physical activity and promote enhancement and maintenance of surgical outcomes. He is also interested in the role of weight loss in alleviating migraine and other diseases and conditions among individuals who are obese.
