Christine Vinci, PhD

Dr. Vinci's research focuses on developing behavioral interventions that address cancer-risk behaviors (e.g., tobacco, alcohol use) and stress management among cancer caregivers. To date, most of the interventional research she has conducted is specific to mindfulness-based interventions and strategies, with a primary focus on technology as a delivery modality.
