Dr Sara Styles is a lecturer in the Department of Human Nutrition with a background in psychology, behavioural nutrition, and public health. Her research focuses on understanding and promoting health and well-being in the general population and people with Type 1 diabetes.
Sara has extensive expertise in the development and evaluation of behaviour change interventions to promote health. She has vast experience using qualitative and quantitative research methods (primarily surveys, feasibility studies, randomised controlled trials, and descriptive qualitative studies).
She is currently testing the feasibility of validating a snacking questionnaire for New Zealand youth with Type 1 Diabetes and using the Multiphase Optimisation Strategy (MOST) to develop an intervention to improve glycaemic control among young people with Type 1 diabetes. A Lottery Health Research-funded optimisation trial will evaluate brief intervention components targeting glucose monitoring, snacking, sleep, and motivation. Previously, she developed and tested a web-based intervention that taught women intuitive eating and psychological flexibility skills. This research found that teaching intuitive eating and psychological flexibility skills to mid-age women with a higher than recommended body mass is a promising approach for increasing intuitive eating, psychological flexibility and general mental health, as well as reducing binge eating.
Before moving to New Zealand in 2012, Sara worked as a Health Programme Specialist for Broome County Office for Aging (New York, USA). In this role, she delivered public talks on nutrition topics and co-led interventions to prevent falls and enhance skills to self-manage Type 2 Diabetes in older adults.
Sara welcomes postgraduate students with an interest in behavioural nutrition.
