Research Interests


Gemme Campbell-Salome, PhD, is a health communication scientist who investigates the relationship between family communication about disease and health outcomes. She studies the persistent influence of family on individual health decision-making, with the aim of designing and testing health communication interventions at the individual, familial and clinical levels. Her work in health communication interventions includes developing chatbots to communicate with individuals and families about hereditary disease risks; optimizing communication methods and messages to motivate cascade testing uptake; and designing patient-centered informative tools. Her research also explores psychosocial and relational outcomes such as resilience and coping, uncertainty management and sense-making.
