LEMANEK LABORATORY
The Lemanek lab is staffed by Kathleen Lemanek, Ph.D. (Principal Investigator), Andrea King, Psy.D. (Fellow/Research Coordinator), and Emily Clough-Paabo, B.A. (Research Assistant). Our lab is currently engaged in a NIH-funded R01 study. This is a multisite randomized clinical trial investigating the effects of a behavioral meal time intervention on nutritional intake and weight status of preschoolers with cystic fibrosis. Our lab is also involved in other studies in both cystic fibrosis and sickle cell disease. We engage in clinical research that focuses on the psychosocial aspects of living with a chronic illness as well as adherence to complex treatment regimens.

MACKNER LABORATORY
My primary research is in the area of adolescent adjustment to chronic illness and the interaction of biopsychosocial factors that contribute to optimal adjustment, particularly in adolescents with gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). My current work is examining biopsychosocial issues in adolescents with IBD and relationships between inflammation and emotional functioning in pediatric IBD. I am also collaborating with Wallace Crandall, M.D., on his project investigating psychosocial stress and genetic moderators in youth with IBD, as well as John Campo, M.D., on his project that is investigating treatment for abdominal pain. |

Social Functioning in Adolescent Chronic Illness
This project is investigating social functioning in adolescents with IBD and identifying biopsychosocial pathways between chronic illness and its impact on adolescent social functioning. Despite the importance and complexity of adolescents' social world, little is known about the effect of a chronic illness on adolescent social functioning.

PAJER LABORATORY
Dr. Pajer is a psychiatrist whose research focuses on biological aspects of female antisocial behavior. She is particularly interested in how the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis portion of the stress response system is correlated with the behavior and physical health of this population. She is currently working on an NIMH-funded project to study HPA axis function in detail in adolescent antisocial girls. This study also examines whether PHA axis function predicts long-term severity and persistence of antisocial behavior in girls. Dr. Pajer is also a co-investigator on a NIDA-funded study that is assessing HPA axis function in neglected and abused offspring of substance-abusing fathers and is a co-investigator on a NIDA- funded study to improve service delivery for adolescent substance abuse problems. Work in progress for funding includes studying the stress response system of women with various types of psychopathology during pregnancy and examining their mothering behaviors after delivery. |

HPA Axis Function in Adolescent Antisocial Females
This study investigates the basal and reactive functions of the HPA axis in antisocial adolescent girls, compared to psychiatric and normal controls. 180 girls will be examined and then followed for a year to determine if HPA axis abnormalities are associated with the severity or persistence of antisocial symptoms.

VANNATTA LABORATORY
Kathryn Vannatta, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Psychology at The Ohio State University. Dr. Vannatta completed her graduate work at the University of Oregon, a pre-doctoral internship at Duke University Medical Center, and a post-doctoral fellowship at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. She has a history of funded research in pediatric psychology emphasizing social, emotional and behavioral outcomes of children affected by cancer and its treatment. Dr. Vannatta is broadly interested in childhood family and peer relations and how risk and resilience are demonstrated in social development when children are faced with severe chronic illness or significant disruption in family functioning. These interests have led Dr. Vannatta to conduct research on the psychosocial and family outcomes experienced by children with a variety of chronic illnesses, children who have undergone stem cell transplantation, and children with a family member affected by a severe or life threatening disease (e.g. maternal breast cancer). Her collaborators on these projects include colleagues in Columbus as well as at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Medical College of Wisconsin, St. Jude's Research Hospital, The Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Dr. Vannatta has provided clinical, research, and professional mentorship to graduate students, pre-doctoral interns, and post-doctoral fellows in pediatric psychology. |

Psychosocial Impact of Pediatric Brain Tumors
This research is identifying school-aged children who have completed treatment for primary CNS tumors at four pediatric oncology centers. Indentical data will be obtained for these children and comparison classmates from multiple sources in classroom (teacher, peer, self-report) and homes (mother, father, and child-report) to allow tests of group differences in social, emotional, behavioral, and parent/family functioning. In addition to testing group differences, analyses will test models about the mechanisms that mediate differences in outcomes, including medical late effects, child attributes, and soical information processing skills. This work is designed to aid efforts to design clinical trials to prevent or ameliorate long-term psychosocial morbidity in BT survivors.
