    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Lown has expertise in the psycho-social consequences of trauma (child abuse, adult interpersonal violence, and childhood cancer survivors and siblings). Her work has focused on poor and minority women, representative national populations, and large national and international studies of childhood cancer survivors and their siblings.

    In the area of pediatric psycho-oncology Dr. Lown has carried out studies to describe the long-term psycho-social consequences of childhood cancer on survivors and their siblings. She has published on health behaviors (alcohol, tobacco, and physical activity) using data from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study; complete, a pilot randomized clinical trial of an acupressure/massage intervention for children with cancer and is currently working on a larger trial of acupressure to decrease nausea/vomiting among children in treatment for a childhood cancer, among other projects. She is a member of the Sibling Partnership for Advocacy and Research for Childhood Cancer (SPARCC) working closely with SuperSibs! to carry out research and advocacy on siblings of children with cancer. Dr. Lown is a member of a national group dedicated to establishing psychosocial standards of care for all childhood cancer patients and their families and author of new guidelines for psychosocial care for long-term childhood cancer survivors. She is a patient advocate for Children's Oncology Group (working with the Behavioral Science, Cancer Control, and Epidemiology Committees).

    More recently Dr. Lown is studying the role of corporate social responsibility programs in tobacco companies in the United States and Africa.

    Acupressure intervention to reduce treatment-related symptoms in children with cancer
    PCORI R-1602-3557Apr 3, 2017 - Apr 2, 2020
    Role: PI
    Role Description: This pragmatic randomized clinical trial will enroll a diverse population of `400 children receiving treatment for a childhood cancer at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals in San Francisco and Oakland, CA. Children will be randomized to receive acupressure plus usual care or usual care alone for treatment-related symptoms. The intervention will involve acupressure provided by a licensed acupuncturist and by trained parents. Symptoms will be assessed in both groups. Primary analytic methods involve use of mixed effects models to assess nausea/vomiting, pain, and other symptoms. Posttraumatic stress symptoms in parents will be compared between study arms. Sub-group analyses will examine differences in effectiveness by gender, race/ethnicity, diagnosis, and treatment.
    Inter-Relationship Between Life-Course Alcohol Patterns and Health Conditions
    NIAAA 1R01AA021448Sep 1, 2014 - Jun 30, 2018
    Role: Co-Investigator
    Role Description: This project analyzes causal relationships between alcohol consumption, drinking patterns and common health problems. The study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) 1979 and 1997 cohorts and the 2012 National Alcohol Survey (NAS). We will examine: (1) effects of specific common health conditions, alcohol-attributable health problems and general health status on alcohol consumption over the life course, (2) influences of life-course alcohol use and childhood adversity (physical abuse, sexual abuse, parental alcoholism, economic hardship and serious illnesses) on the onset of specific health conditions, and (3) effects of life-course alcohol use patterns, childhood and adult adversity and economic impacts of the 2008-09 recession on self-reported general health status
