Ellen Beckjord, PhD, MPH
Dr. Ellen Beckjord is currently a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Prevention Fellow in the Health Communication and Informatics Research Branch. She recently received her Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Beckjord earned her doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Vermont, where she focused her clinical work and research on the psychosocial adjustment of breast cancer survivors. Her current research interests in negative affect and health behavior fall at the intersection of clinical psychology and public health. Dr. Beckjord's research uses population-level data to examine how symptoms of anxiety and depression affect the cognitive processing of health information, and how associations between negative affect and cognitive processing relate to preventive health behaviors. She continues her survivorship research with projects focused on quality of life and the information needs of long-term adult cancer survivors.
