Understanding Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Therapy
The purpose of this study is to understand what it’s like for adolescents and young adults with cancer to participate in physical therapy while they are in the hospital. Our goal is to use what we learn to design strategies to help make it easier to participate in physical therapy during inpatient stays.

Understanding How to Improve Medication Adherence
The purpose of this study is to understand what it’s like for adolescents and young adults with cancer to take medications each day. Our goal is to use what we learn to design a new intervention that can help make adherence easier for adolescents and young adults with cancer.
Project DetailsCollaborators: Seattle Children’s, Akron Children’s
Funding: National Institutes of Health
Developing an Algorithm to Code Adherence Data
The purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm that researchers can use to convert electronic adherence monitoring device actuations into adherence data.
Testing Electronic Adherence Monitoring Devices
The purpose of this study was to independently evaluate the accuracy of commercially-available electronic adherence monitoring devices. Along with her colleagues in the Center for Adherence and Self-Management, Dr. McGrady tested the devices according to a protocol reflecting four adherence behaviors. It is hoped that the results of this study provide clinicians and researchers with a comprehensive guide for selecting among available EAMDs.
