Jennifer J. Bute studies how people communicate about sensitive health experiences, with particular attention to reproductive loss, grief, pregnancy, and childbirth. Her work examines how patients and health care providers talk to one another, how individuals manage private information, and how personal stories help people make sense of difficult medical experiences. Much of her recent research develops tools for screening grief after reproductive loss and explores communication challenges such as navigating health insurance denials.
Publication activity has been fairly steady over the past decade, with a notable peak in 2021 and consistent output continuing through 2026.
