Interventions for Health-promotion in Oncology and Obesity in Pediatrics (I-HOPE)
Welcome to the I-Hope Lab!
Our lab, directed by Dr. Marilyn Stern, focuses on pediatric health – primarily conducting studies in psychosocial oncology and obesity. Much of our work is aimed at developing health promoting interventions for different groups of children and their families. Our research centers around nutrition, physical activity, and mindfulness to reduce obesity and improve health outcomes. In addition to our psychosocial oncology research, we also study how to improve healthy lifestyles in Latino families from rural communities in Florida. We aim to understand how to best intervene with children, adolescents, and young adult (AYA) survivors of cancer, and how to develop culturally relevant interventions for Latino families.
We have a large lab made up of undergraduates, post-Bacs, masters’ and doctoral students and Moffitt Cancer Center T-32 and ±«Óãtv postdoctoral fellows. We also partner with other ±«Óãtv faculty members.
