BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Hampl joined ASU’s faculty in 1998 after earning his Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and finishing a post-doc at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Currently, he is finishing a second master’s degree in journalism/mass communication. As a registered dietitian, Dr. Hampl is particularly interested in how public health issues and mass media interact, and he teaches coursework in community nutrition and health communication. Dr. Hampl received the Dannon Institute's Award for Excellence in Community Nutrition, based on his research and community outreach service. Currently, Dr. Hampl’s research interests involve two main channels. The first evaluates how consumers’ perceived susceptibility to and severity of cancer vary by exposure to mass media, particularly health-focused news. The second involves time-series qualitative and quantitative content analyses of newspaper article frames, specifically related to weight-loss drugs and food sustainability issues.
