About Dr. Shinn
Eileen H. Shinn, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Behavioral Science. She holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Ohio University. Her research interests include behavioral interventions for patients on active treatment, increasing engagement to supportive mobile technology, and long-term adherence to chronic regimens in cancer. As part of this research, she collaborates with experts in radiation oncology, nanoengineering, computational science and pathology. Her long-term goal is to link psychosocial applications with emerging and established clinical strategies to improve QoL in both early-stage and advanced cancer.
Her interest in adherence research has focused mainly in head and neck cancer: her most recent project translated a 10-session adherence intervention for patients with head and neck cancer to a mobile platform for rural patients in North Central Texas (CPRIT Prevention Program grant). She was PI of several grants testing the efficacy and feasibility of adherence interventions in patients with head and neck cancer (R01DE019141; ACS RSGPB-09-156-01-CPPB; the PREPARE adherence intervention was recognized at the 2016 Dysphagia Conference by the American Speech and Language Hearing Association). She also tested depression screening strategies and cognitive behavioral treatment for depressed patients with ovarian cancer (K07CA093512) and head and neck cancer (R03CA108358). Her interest in mobile technologies led to a multi-PI clinical trial testing the efficacy of a remote dehydration monitoring system (CYCORE) in the reduction of hospitalization rates for head and neck cancer patients during radiation (Peterson; R01CA177996). She also co-leads an NSF DARE grant (1929748) to test the effects of haptic feedback on patient engagement with a throat sensor for early detection of swallowing problems after head and neck cancer treatment. Her interest in biobehavioral research led to an observational biomarker study for barriers to adherence (R21DE019954) and a DOD-funded multisite project characterizing biobehavioral factors in long-term versus short-term ovarian cancer survivors.
Dr. Shinn has led and served on various extramural committees, including the Health Services Research and Quality Improvement education committee for ASCO and the Patient Reported Outcomes working group for the Translational Breast Cancer Research Consortium. She serves on the editorial board for BMC Cancer and has been a scientific reviewer for the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program and NIH.
