Maureen George
Professor, School of Nursing
Maureen George, PhD, is a professor at Columbia University School of Nursing. George focuses broadly on reducing health inequities in vulnerable populations with chronic respiratory disease. In particular, she conducts community-based participatory research with poor and minority patients and their health care providers to understand how self-management preferences and patient-provider communication influence treatment choices. To the end, she uses community-informed strategies to address obstacles to disease control, such as health beliefs, health literacy, and the built environment.
