Joyce P Yi-Frazier, PhD

Specialties

"As a research health psychologist, I am interested in understanding more about what predicts successful outcomes in youth with chronic disease. I find it inspiring to hear about patients who rise above daily struggles and succeed in academics, activities and social relationships. Thus, my work explores the personal resources that define 'resilience' in those who successfully manage the hardships of growing up with chronic or serious illnesses and thrive. My colleagues and I have developed an intervention designed to bolster resilience in adolescents facing chronic/serious illness and their parents."
