Adolescent Health & Eating Disorder Researcher; Associate Professor of Pediatrics at University of California, San Francisco; Editor of "Eating Disorders in Boys and Men"
Jason Nagata Biography
Dr. Jason Nagata is an associate professor of pediatrics in the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, where he is also affiliated with the Institute for Health Policy Studies and the Institute for Global Health Sciences. Nagata earned a Bachelor of Arts in health and societies from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Science in medical anthropology from the University of Oxford, a Doctor of Medicine from the University of California, San Francisco, and completed his pediatrics residency at Stanford University. His multidisciplinary academic background informs his comprehensive approach to adolescent health research.
Nagata's research centers on eating disorders, particularly among boys, men, and the LGBTQ+ community. He investigates the health consequences of adolescent and young adult behaviors, including nutrition, physical activity, and screen time, with an emphasis on the prevention of cardiovascular disease and mental illness in adulthood. Noting that most eating disorder research historically focused on girls, Nagata has worked to update medical guidelines to address the needs of boys and men. He is the editor of the medical textbook "Eating Disorders in Boys and Men" and serves as senior editor of the "Journal of Eating Disorders."
Nagata has published more than 300 articles in academic journals, and his research has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, NPR, and NBC News. He serves on the International Advisory Board of The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health and the editorial board of the Journal of Adolescent Health. His publications for the second "Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing" address youth engagement and provide data on the impact of cyberbullying.
A national study led by Nagata of nearly 10,000 early adolescents, published in "The Lancet Regional Health – Americas," found that children who experienced cyberbullying at ages 11 to 12 had higher rates of depressive symptoms, attention problems, suicidal behaviors, and early experimentation with drugs. He has also conducted research using the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study, the largest study on brain health and child development in the United States, which tracks 12,000 children and collects data on screen exposure and mental and physical health.
Nagata's work in adolescent health and eating disorders has been recognized with several honors, including the Fellow's Clinical Research Award from the Society for Pediatric Research, the Emerging Leader in Adolescent Health Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Young Professionals Prize from the International Association for Adolescent Health, the Young Investigator Award from the Western Society for Pediatric Research, the Nemours Child Health Services Research Award from AcademyHealth, and the Holroyd-Sherry Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics. He is co-founder and co-chair of the Young Professionals Network of the International Association for Adolescent Health. Through his research, editorial roles, and public advocacy, Nagata is a leading voice in adolescent health, eating disorder research, and the effects of digital media on youth well-being.
