Dr. Skinner’s research interests are in development and evaluation of communications interventions designed to change health-related behaviors. Her intervention research has targeted early detection of cancer among minority populations and facilitating decision making about screening, genetic counseling, and genetic testing for individuals at elevated risk for developing breast, ovarian, and colon cancer.
