Bio

Karen Stein is a leading nurse researcher in the area of child and adolescent psychology. Stein’s broad scope of funded research and lead-authored publications specifically focus on the etiology of eating disorders and other at-risk behaviors, including alcohol abuse, in young adults. Her research explores the role of self-cognition in the development of anorexia and bulimia nervosa, and how self-cognition interventions may promote recovery and well-being in eating-disordered patients. She also has experience with ecological momentary assessment methodology to measure health behaviors. She is R01 funded for her work to determine the role of self-cognition in the development of disordered eating, alcohol and tobacco use in Mexican-American women.

Stein joined the School of Nursing in 2011. Prior, she served as professor of nursing at the University of Michigan School of Nursing and associate professor of psychiatry in the Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry. She earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Connecticut, her master’s degree from Boston University and her PhD from the University of Michigan. She has also served as editor for the Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, as well as a reviewer for more than a dozen professional journals.
