Barbara Sternfeld, PhD, is an emeritus research scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research, where she began her career in 1985. Dr. Sternfeld’s training is in epidemiology and exercise science, and she has extensive experience with large, prospective cohort studies, most notably the CARDIA study (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults), the CARDIA Fitness Study, and SWAN (Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation). Other notable studies include Project ALIVE! (A Lifestyle Intervention Via E-Mail), a randomized trial of a diet and physical activity intervention (funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention); and the NIH-funded On the Move, a validation study involving the development of a cell phone application for recording physical activities. Most recently, she designed and led the exercise component of a multi-site 3-by- 2 factorial randomized clinical trial of behavioral treatments for vasomotor symptoms, conducted as part of the MsFLASH (Menopause Stratagies: Finding Lasting Answers for Symptoms and Health) Research Network.

In 1996, Dr. Sternfeld was awarded the Sport Science Award of the International Olympic Committee President for her paper on exercise and pregnancy outcome. She continues to publish scientific papers related to physical activity and women’s health and remains actively involved with CARDIA, SWAN, and other studies.
