Dr. Elizabeth Lampe is a T32 postdoctoral research fellow in the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health at Dartmouth College. She received her PhD in clinical psychology from Drexel University and completed her pre-doctoral internship in clinical psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. During graduate school, Elizabeth also held research appointments in the Perlis Lab at the University of Pennsylvania Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program, and the Jacobson Lab at the Dartmouth Center for Technology and Behavioral Health.
Elizabeth's research uses ambulatory assessment technology, traditional and data-driven statistical modeling, and theoretical frameworks of both disordered eating and health-behavior promotion to identify novel treatment targets for eating disorders (e.g., exercise, sleep, substance use), with the ultimate goal of developing novel digital treatment approaches to provide support in the moment of need. The rigor and impact of Elizabeth's research has been recognized through numerous external awards and competitive research grants.
Elizabeth’s primary line of research is focused on exercise, which has conventionally been conceptualized as an entirely maladaptive behavior in eating disorder populations (i.e., intended to exert control over body shape/weight, designed to compensate for binge-eating episodes, and/or becoming compulsive or addictive). However, outside eating disorders, exercise is generally associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes. Elizabeth’s work evaluates a novel, dimensional theory of exercise in eating disorders which allows for the presence of adaptive exercise engagement (i.e., exercise engagement that is neither compulsive nor compensatory and contributes to both physical and psychological health) even within the context of an eating disorder.
