| Dr. Judge received her B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from The University of Akron in Akron, Ohio. Prior to joining the CSU faculty, Dr. Judge worked as a Research Scientist at the Margaret Blenkner Research Institute (MBRI) of Benjamin Rose Institute in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Judge's research focuses on developing and testing psychosocial interventions for individuals with memory loss/dementia and their family caregivers. Dr. Judge also studies stress and coping processes of older adults who are living with memory loss/dementia and those who care for them.
Dr. Judge's current research projects are funded by the National Alzheimer's Association and the National Institute on Aging. Grounded in a strength-based approach, these projects examine the efficacy of educational and cognitive rehabilitation interventions for individuals with mild to moderate dementia and their family caregivers. Dr. Judge is also a Co-Investigator on a project funded by the Veteran's Administration and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, entitled Partners in Dementia Care. This four-year study extends findings from the Chronic Care Network for Alzheimer's Disease demonstration project and tests the effectiveness of a partnership model of care coordination designed to improve psychosocial, utilization, and cost outcomes for veterans with dementia and their family caregivers. | ||
