Research Abstract

My research interests are in the areas of health psychology and mental health outcomes of oncology patients. I am interested in the assessment for quality-of-life, psychiatric morbidity, and health behaviors in cancer survivors. My current projects include an NCI funded study evaluating existing PTSD screening measures for assessment of young adult cancer survivors, and two NCI funded clinical trials of brief behavioral interventions to treat insomnia in cancer survivors.
