Jennifer Sonney PhD, ARNP, PPCNP-BC, FAANP, FAAN
My program of research is dedicated to improving the health of children with chronic conditions, with a particular emphasis on children with asthma. As a scientist-clinician, I draw upon my experience as a primary care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner to inform novel approaches to improving asthma outcomes in children by reducing symptom burden and establishing lifelong self-management skills. Presently, the foci of my scholarly work are determining the cognitive capacity of a child to assume asthma management responsibility and developing and testing family-centered health technologies to support parent-child shared asthma management. I use a variety of approaches in my interdisciplinary research, including human-centered design, family informatics, behavior change theory, and dyadic methodology. I also serve on the Executive Committee of my professional organization, the National Association for Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.
