Kathryn Vannatta studies the psychological and social well-being of children and families coping with serious pediatric illnesses, including cancer, congenital heart disease, and traumatic brain injury. Her work examines how these conditions and their treatments affect peer relationships, family communication, quality of life, and long-term development in survivors and their siblings or caregivers. Much of this research aims to identify factors that could inform psychosocial support programs in pediatric medical settings.
