OverviewAI-generated summary
Brandi Whitaker's research investigates factors influencing health outcomes in pediatric populations, with a particular focus on sleep, mental health, and chronic conditions. Her work has examined the impact of obesity on sleep quality, life satisfaction, and depression in youth. Whitaker has also studied depression screening within pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) clinics, highlighting the mental health needs of children with chronic gastrointestinal conditions. Additionally, her research has explored infant sleep product safety, utilizing biomechanical principles to assess the impact of inclined sleep surfaces on infant movement and muscle activity. She has also contributed to research on multidisciplinary care for pediatric severe asthma and the safety of commercial infant products concerning body positioning and muscle use.
Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 2, with a total of 7 publications and 21 citations. Whitaker collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Stacie M. Jones, Amy M. Scurlock, Emily Seminara, and Diana Muñoz-Mendoza, with whom she shares multiple publications. Her most recent publication was in 2025, indicating recent activity in her research endeavors.
