OverviewAI-generated summary

Jennifer L. Harman studies the psychosocial and neurocognitive outcomes for children diagnosed with cancer and their families. Her research investigates social-emotional functioning in preschool-aged children with cancer, comparing those with brain tumors to those with non-CNS solid tumors. Harman also examines the association between environmental factors and neurocognitive outcomes in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Her work explores integrated psychological services in pediatric oncology from caregiver perspectives, the approach to steroid-induced affective disorder in pediatric oncology, and ototoxicity and cognitive outcomes in young children treated for brain tumors.

Further research by Harman addresses interagency collaboration between pediatric oncology settings and community schools, and the role of occupational therapy in supporting young children with cancer. She has also investigated the challenges of providing end-of-life support to pediatric oncology families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
