Research Interests

• My research program explores decision-making related to various health risks, or the central role of communication in preventing and maintaining health and wellness. The two main thrusts of this research are: 1) increasing involvement in message processing and exploring message features in prevention, especially with adolescent risk taking
• And 2) how people choose to share or conceal health diagnoses or other information.
