Dr. Lee is part of team that has published an article, “Personal cancer worry and Systemic Cancer Concern: Pathways to health behaviors via social media and emotional well-being” in Computers in Human Behavior, investigating how personal worry and systemic cancer concern relate to digital health behaviors through distinct affective and trust-related pathways. Drawing on an integrated theoretical framework, this study analyzes nationally representative U.S. data using structural equation modeling. The findings inform psychologically responsive digital health design, such that emotion-sensitive features may support users with heightened vulnerability, whereas credibility cues may address institutional distrust.
