David Moser, PhD, ABPP
Introduction
My primary research interest involves finding better ways to identify those individuals at greatest risk for vascular cognitive decline and, ultimately, finding ways to prevent or at least attenuate this process. A secondary line of research involves the assessment of decisional capacity for informed consent in various vulnerable populations, determining what factors (e.g. cognitive dysfunction, mental illness) are most likely to impair this capacity, and finding new ways to improve this capacity in those who are unable to make informed decisions on their own behalf.

Research Concentration
My primary research interest involves vascular disease, how this contributes to cognitive decline in the elderly, and how to develop strategies for early identification of those individuals at greatest risk for such decline. Additional research interests include decision making and capacity for informed consent in vulnerable populations, and neuropsychological and emotional functioning in the following populations: post-stroke patients, schizophrenia and other mental illness, eating disorders.
