Current Research Interests

Dr. Salz's primary research interest is in identifying the gaps between recommended and actual care for cancer survivors. She aims to understanding the role of patient and physician decision making in creating and resolving problems with survivorship care. Currently, Dr. Salz is working to understand whether treatment summaries and plans for recommended care can improve the ongoing post-treatment care of colorectal cancer survivors. She is also interested in understanding whether patient factors, such as the perceived likelihood of cancer and receiving false positive cancer screening results, affect well-being and future preventive behaviors.
