Jonathan Bricker

Jonathan Bricker Jonathan B. Bricker is an American clinical psychologist, academic, and scientist. He is a Full Professor in the Division of Public Health Sciences (PHS) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Psychology, and a Member of the Graduate Faculty at the University of Washington. He is the founder and leader of the Health and Behavioral Innovations in Technology (HABIT) research lab at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center. Throughout his career, Bricker has led an NIH-funded clinical research team, provided clinical intervention and supervision, and given invited keynote lectures internationally on topics including behavioral interventions, tobacco cessation and substance addiction, and weight less.

Bricker's main contribution to science is in the novel translation of behavioral therapies into high-reach technologies that prevent cancer. He is most known for integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into AI-based chatbots, smartphone apps, websites, and telehealth interventions for preventing major causes of cancer: cigarette smoking and obesity. He and his research lab have conducted large randomized clinical trials testing these interventions, including a nationwide study of over 2500 participants funded by the National Institutes of Health which showed that the iCanQuit app was efficacious for quitting smoking. He has worked on adapting and testing these interventions for vulnerable populations, including American Indians and Alaska Natives, Blacks adults, Hispanic adults, and cancer patients. His research career began with the development and testing of a tool to measure air travel stress, followed by discoveries on the efficacy of proactive coaching to help teenagers stop smoking and on the long-term influences of parental behavior on their children's tobacco use.
