Interests:
I am interested in families' response to chronic illness. I am particularly interested in the interplay between the meanings families assign to illness management and the kind of care they provide. My current research addresses young adults with physical disabilities and the ways they and their families manage their transition to adulthood, including both transition health care services and transition to adult roles and responsibilities.
