Joy Kawamura, PhD
My primary clinical and research interests are in the identification of psychosocial risk factors that predict trajectories of psychosocial adjustment among medically ill youth and their families, and the implementation of evidence-based intervention to address these factors. As a pediatric psychologist at Seattle Children’s Hospital, I provide assessment and intervention services to children with co-occurring medical illnesses through the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. I am currently conducting a QI project that aims to increase equitable access to psychosocial services for youth with inflammatory bowel disease through the implementation of a routine screening program that stratifies families by level of psychosocial risk.
