Biography
Dr. Janke's research targets the intersection of health behaviors, psychosocial risk factors, and chronic disease with a recent focus in the area of pain and obesity. Pain is a common problem that rarely presents itself in isolation. Individuals who suffer with chronic pain frequently experience significant psychosocial distress along with other physical concerns and behavioral risk factors. In keeping with this finding, her research focuses on understanding and addressing the problem of pain alongside other issues whether physical (e.g., hepatitis C), psychiatric (e.g., depression), and/or health risk behaviors (e.g., smoking, poor diet, and limited physical activity).
