Research Interests
My research program focuses on improving behavioural health and psychological outcomes among individuals across the lifespan. I view digital health as an approach that can be used to assist with achieving this goal via increasing access to evidence-based interventions for youth and adults. As such, I use digital health to answer key research questions and to develop and test interventions targeting outcomes such as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and health behaviours.
Specific areas of interest include:
- Chronic pain in childhood cancer survivors
- Pain in youth undergoing cancer treatment
- Fear of cancer recurrence; cancer-related worry
- Pain in youth and adults with sickle cell disease
- Health anxiety
- Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy
- Wearable-based interventions
