Ashleigh A. Pona studies the psychological evaluation and treatment of patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, including how personality tests, eating behaviors, and family or relational factors relate to surgical outcomes and weight management. This work also extends to pediatric weight management interventions and eating disorder-related attention and memory biases. The research is largely clinical and applied, aimed at improving preoperative screening tools and understanding predictors of postoperative success.
Publication output has been irregular over the past decade, with active years (e.g., 2017-2019, 2022, 2024-2025) interspersed with years of no recorded output (2020, 2021, 2023), averaging about 2 publications per year over the last five years.
