FNPA Research Applications
The FNPA has been used in a number of school, community and clinical projects. This page provides information on the coordinating team working to facilitate standardized use of the FNPA for both research and practice applications. However, we encourage you to visit the associated link to the many other researchers and clinicians that have used the FNPA in their work for specific questions or ideas. See the associated link for a full list of FNPA users.]

Greg Welk, Ph.D. - Iowa State University
Dr. Welk is a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at ISU. He is a physical activity and public health researcher with interests focused on the development of measurement tools that can improve both research and practice. He coordinated the original research on the FNPA by Dr. Michelle Ihmels as part of her dissertation research and has facilitated ongoing research with the tool over time. Research on the FNPA continues to be a major theme within the Physical Activity and Health Promotion Lab, which he contributes to within the Department. General questions about the evolution and specific requests about the use of the ISU-Trademarked FNPA tool can be directed to him at gwelk@iastate.edu).

Karissa Peyer, Ph.D. - University of Tennessee-Chattanooga
Dr. Peyer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Exercise Science: Health and Human Performance at UT-Chattanooga. She completed her Ph.D. research on the continued refinement of the FNPA while studying with Dr. Welk at Iowa State University. She has retained active research interests in the incorporation of the FNPA into primary care and obesity related applications. She conducted robust evaluations of the psychometric properties of the FNPA and has been facilitating the standardized use of these tools on the website. She oversees the website and can address any questions about the refinements in the FNPA, research on the tool and access to the specific instruments. Contact her at karissa-peyer@utc.edu.

Lisa Bailey-Davis, Geisinger Health Systems
Dr. Bailey-Davis is a research scientist at Geisinger and she has been leading the integration of the FNPA into the clinical workflow within the medical system over a number of years. The tool is currently incorporated into the electronic medical record and is used by pediatricians to assist with parent well-child visits. She provides considerable expertise on the practical considerations involved in using the FNPA in clinical settings. Contact her at ldbaileydavis@geisinger.edu.

Julia Richards-Krapfl, Blank Children's Hospital
Julia is the research scientist at Blank Children’s Hospital and has been leading projects involved with the use of the FNPA in family-based obesity prevention programming. The FNPA has been used to facilitate motivational interviewing applications and brief action plans to assist parents in making changes in their home environments. Julia works closely with Dr. Lanningham-Foster from Iowa State on the coordination of this project. She can provide key insights about the use of the FNPA for motivational interviewing applications. Contact her at Julia.RichardsKrapfl@unitypoint.org
