Maureen A. Frey, PhD, RN, is a Research Associate at Wayne State University, School of Medicine, and is coordinator of the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Research Network. Dr. Frey received her MSN and doctorate (PhD in nursing) from Wayne State University. She is a pioneer in developing and testing middle range theory derived from King's conceptual system. Her theoretical formulation of families, children, chronic conditions, and health outcomes has been tested with youth with diabetes, asthma, and HIV/AIDS. Her focus is on understanding interactions that influence behavior and the relationship between behavioral change and improved health status. Dr. Frey is a strong advocate for the utility of King's conceptual system outside of nursing and currently works with a multidisciplinary team. She has implemented theory-based research in both academic and service settings. See less
