She is trained in health services research. Her primary research is in decision making related to cancer prevention and control, particularly among racial/ethnic minority and underserved populations. Dr. Hawley has a specific interest in understanding the role of patient preferences and patient-physician communication in use of screening and treatment services and in reducing health disparities. Dr. Hawley's current NIH- and VA-supported research portfolio focuses on understanding breast cancer treatment decision making among racial/ethnic minority women, developing and testing a breast cancer treatment decision tool, and evaluating the impact of a preference-tailored decision aid for increasing colon cancer screening in diverse primary care patients.
