Dr. Faith received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Hofstra University in 1995. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the NIH-funded New York Obesity Research Center at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, Columbia University. Dr. Faith’s research focuses on the development of child food preferences, eating styles, and body weight. With his colleagues, Dr. Faith studies the interplay of genetic and environmental influences on child eating patterns, parent-child feeding dynamics, and the measurement of child appetite and satiety. Dr. Faith and colleagues test interventions to help treat and/or prevent obesity in children. He holds multiple grants from the NIH to study these issues.
