For more than four decades, using a public health approach, she has developed and evaluated community-based patient education programs in English and Spanish for people with chronic conditions including arthritis, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and AIDS. In recent years, this work has been extended to similar programs offered via the Internet. Her present research includes the development and evaluation of programs for cancer survivors as well as for caregivers of people with posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and other cognitive impairments. These programs are offered largely over the Internet. Most recently, she has been involved in studying how to translate programs from the academic setting to the larger community.

Richard Ohrbach, D.D.S., Ph.D., earned a D.D.S. (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), a certificate in pain management (University of California, Los Angeles), an M.S. in oral sciences, and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology (University at Buffalo) and performed postdoctoral studies in behavioral epidemiology (University of Washington). One of his primary research objectives has been the development of new diagnostic standards for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). The new standards, whose development was supported by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and which are now internationally recognized, offer both researchers and health professionals (1) an improved screening tool to identify painful TMDs, (2) validated diagnostic criteria grounded in supportive scientific evidence that more readily differentiate the most common forms of TMDs, and (3) improved psychosocial assessment tools. The other primary research objective, via the OPPERA (Orofacial Pain: Prospective Evaluation and Risk Assessment) study, has been cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses related to incident cases with TMDs as well as chronic TMDs as well as of physical–psychological interactions relevant to the development and persistence of pain disorders. Dr. Ohrbach is a member of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain, American Pain Society, International Association for Dental Research, International Association for the Study of Pain, and International Network for Orofacial Pain and Related Disorders Methodology (INfORM).
