Areas of Interest:

• Dr. Vannatta 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.
