Dr. Cotton earned a BA from Smith College in Music and Psychology in 1993, and a MA and PhD in Clinical Health Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology/Alameda in 2000. She completed her clinical internship at Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, from 1999 through 2000, and was a postdoctoral fellow from 2000 to 2002 at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in the divisions of Pediatric Psychology and Adolescent Medicine. After her fellowship, Dr. Cotton became the Associate Director and then the Acting Director of the Center for Adolescent Health at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine. In 2004, Dr. Cotton returned to Cincinnati and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and a Research Scientist with the Institute for the Study of Health and the Veterans' Administration Medical Center. As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Cotton has worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of medical and psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, depression, HIV, and cancer, and is particularly knowledgeable about the impact of medical conditions on psychological and social functioning.
Dr. Cotton's research interests include coping with chronic illness, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), pediatric and adolescent health outcomes, religion/spirituality and health, and complementary/integrative medicine. She has used both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine: a) HRQOL in patients with HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, and pediatric pain; b) religiosity, spirituality, and health outcomes with a variety of populations, including a recent review with adolescents; c) complementary medicine interventions for chronic illnesses; d) satisfaction with oral contraception in adolescents and young adults; e) predictors of adolescent sexual initiation; f) adolescent girls' perceptions of the timing of their sexual initiation; and g) coping with stigma associated with screening for neonatal herpes and with being HIV-positive. In 2002 and 2004, Dr. Cotton was a finalist for two new investigator awards at national meetings (Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2004; National Association for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, 2002). Most recently, Dr. Cotton submitted a K23 career development proposal to the National Institutes of Health to examine the role of spiritual coping in adolescents with a chronic disease.
