Dr. Elizabeth Cox and Dr. Kathryn Flynn are part of a team of researchers who were recently awarded a 4-year, $2.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to fine-tune tools for clinicials to improve outcomes for children with chronic illnesses. Dr. Cox and Dr. Flynn’s energies will be focused on understanding how children’s experiences of living with chronic illness change as they grow and develop. The knowledge gained in this work will help researchers and clinicians as interpret chronically ill children’s patient-reported outcomes in the context of clinical care or comparative effectiveness trials.
