Jennifer L. Hay
I am a clinical health psychologist with expertise in addressing psychological aspects of melanoma risk, diagnosis, and treatment. I treat individuals at increased risk for developing melanoma, as well as those patients and families who are currently coping with melanoma diagnosis and treatment. My work with these patients and families is focused on increasing their ability to cope well and maintain their quality of life, given their current health and mental challenges. Additionally, I provide clinical services through the Smoking Cessation Clinic, where I help longstanding smokers (both cancer patients and others) to quit smoking and avoid relapse to smoking in the future.
My research program focuses on psychological factors in cancer prevention. I have a particular interest in developing new cancer risk-reduction programs for families affected by melanoma and tobacco-related cancers, and in developing new strategies for communicating cancer risk information to those at risk for developing cancer.
