Kristen Elizabeth Jastrowski Mano , Ph.D.

Kristen Jastrowski Mano examines the cognitive and emotional mechanisms associated with the development and maintenance of pediatric chronic pain, with a particular interest in the associations among anxiety, attentional control (e.g., working memory), and pain. Current research projects are also focused on school-related anxiety and functioning. She also conducts collaborative clinic-based research addressing the presenting problems of pediatric pain patients and their families, co-occurring psychological (e.g., anxiety) and medical (e.g., obesity) conditions of pain patients, predictors of treatment outcomes, and the effectiveness of psychological interventions. 

Her teaching interests include health psychology, child psychopathology, measurement, and clinical supervision.
