Welcome to the PONS (Pediatric Oncology Neuro Social) lab website! Thank you for your interest in understanding and improving psychosocial outcomes in children diagnosed with cancer. In this site you will find information on our current research projects, resources related to pediatric oncology, and upcoming knowledge sharing activities. Please reach out if you have any questions or comments.
Vision & Mission
Our lab is focused on understanding and improving psychosocial outcomes in children diagnosed with cancer.
There are three main themes to the research projects we are currently pursuing:
-
The use of psychosocial screening measures to better tailor interventions to individual family needs
-
Understanding social competence strengths and challenges in pediatric brain tumor survivors in order to develop targeted interventions
-
Supporting the transition of cancer survivors from pediatric to adult healthcare. Our goal is to develop research projects, knowledge-sharing activities, and collaborative relationships that will have a positive impact on pediatric cancer survivor well-being.
