Ongoing projects

U-SPEAK: Understanding parental expectations, attitudes, and knowledge regarding pediatric tissue donation for research

Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications [ELSI] study within the Developmental Genotype Expression [dGTEx)] project

Dr. Faith co-leads the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) team within dGTEx. Within large, consortia-based genomic research, ELSI teams are tasked with two goals: (1) providing oversight and guidance to the consortia to promote donor representation and ethical, gold-standard practices, and (2) conduct an ELSI sub-study within the consortia. U-SPEAK is the ELSI project within dGTEx. The dGTEx project is seeking organ and tissue donations from next-of-kin immediately following their child's death. The dGTEx project is an extension of an earlier work with post-mortem adult tissues (Genotype Expression Project, or GTEx), but dGTEx seeks a number of whole organs and tissue samples from youth who died between birth and 18 years of age. The dGTEx project is designed to expand scientists understanding of why some children develop diseases and others do not, as well as to expand scientific knowledge about human biology and the role of gene expression in human development. The dGTEx project is staged to provide a scientific resource for current and future scientists across the next several decades. Our dGTEx ELSI team is utilizing a community-engaged framework to gather data, provide feedback to the consortium, and identify gold standards for genomic research that utilizes post-mortem donated organs and tissues. The U-SPEAK project is designed to ultimately develop gold standards for genomic research that relies on post-mortem pediatric organ and tissue donation, including best practices for authorizing post-mortem donatoin with next-of-kin and promoting optimal donor diversity/representation. For more information, please visit the dGTEx scientific website (GTEx Portal; Developmental Genotype-Tissue Expression (dGTEx)) or the dGTEx donor family website (dGTEx Families | Strategic Initiatives | NDRI).

I-DECiDE: Inclusion of diverse perspectives to inform ethical and social considerations in donation of tissue for genomic research in end-of-life discussions

Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications [ELSI] pstudy within the Somatic Mosaicism across Human Tissues (SMaHT) project

Dr. Faith co-leads the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) team within SMaHT. Within large, consortia-based genomic research, ELSI teams are tasked with two goals: (1) providing oversight and guidance to the consortia to promote donor representation and ethical, gold-standard practices, and (2) conduct an ELSI sub-study within the consortia. I-DECiDE is the ELSI project within SMaHT. SMaHT is seeking donated whole organs and tissues from next-of-kin immediately following their adult loved one's death. SMaHT researchers are trying to understand more about somatic mosaicism, which is when some cells in the body develop DNA changes that may or may not lead to disease. Scientists know somatic mosaicism is implicated in a number of human disease processes, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's dementia, and cardiovascular disease. However, the scientific community knows little about why some people develop a lot of somatic mosaicism and other people do not, why somatic mosaicism for some people or in some specific organs/tissues causes disease whereas somatic mosaicism in other contexts does not, or how prevalent somatic mosaicism truly is. The SMaHT project is designed to provide a resource for scientific discovery that will impact the field for generations to come. The I-DECiDE study is seeking to understand factors that can improve families' perceptions of support and autonomous decision-making related to post-mortem genomic research organ and tissue donation. I-DECiDE is also seeking to develop gold-standards for future genomic research that relies on donated post-mortem organs and tissues to promote family support and diverse representation among donor samples. To learn more, please visit the SMAHT scientific website (Somatic Mosaicism Across Human Tissues (SMaHT) or the SMaHT donor family website (SMaHT Family Donor Program).

Disseminating interdisciplinary Motivational Interviewing training: Replication and expansion of early findings

This study is evaluating the impact and efficacy of motivational interviewing training for interdisciplinary colleagues across large medical and community settings. Dr. Faith provides Motivational Interviewing training at a variety of levels, including providing a basic skill-building workshop, workshop booster sessions, and an advanced, extended, expert-level training program. Dr. Faith previously published training outcome findings for the program, but has now expanded the program and continues to collect outcome data. Previously-published training outcome findings have been featured in the New York Times.

Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Tine-Limited, Internet-based Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (I-PCIT) in pediatric cancer

Enrollment and follow-up data collection for the I-PCIT study concluded in September 2026. The study team is currently analyzing data, with the goal of disseminating a number of qualitative and quantitative findings.

Fear of cancer recurrence study

This study is evaluating links among parent and child fear of cancer recurrence, patient and parent internalizing symptoms, children's disruptive behaviors, parenting practices (e.g., emotion socialization practices, inconsistent discipline), and parent-child relationship quality (e.g., parent-child conflict, parent-child warmth). Enrollment and data collection for the fear of cancer recurrence study concluded in September 2026 when Dr. Faith transitioned the lab to a new pediatric children's hospital in Florida. The study team is currently analyzing data, with the goal of disseminating quantitative findings in across multiple domains.

Sickle cell disease and opioid legislation study

This study is evaluating patients' and parents' perceptions of opioid-restricting legislation, including links between legislation perceptions and pain coping behaviors, illness coping behaviors, perceptions of discrimination within and beyond the medical setting, relationship quality with medical team providers, pain catastrophizing cognitions, and several other constructs. Enrollment and data collection for the sickle cell disease and opioid legislation study concluded in September 2026 when Dr. Faith transitioned the lab to a new pediatric children's hospital in Florida. The study team is currently analyzing data, with the goal of disseminating quantitative findings in across multiple domains.

Completed Datasets Available for Publication

Fear of cancer recurrence in pediatric oncology

This study evaluated parents' and pediatric patients' fear of cancer recurrence. We are also investigating the extent to which fear of cancer recurrence could be related to family relationship quality, parenting behaviors, parenting beliefs, and patients' internalizing/externalizing problems.

Stigma associated with opioid legislation in pediatric sickle cell disease

This study is investigating investigated parents' and pediatric patients' perspectives on opioid legislation, attitudes and experiences related to sickle cell disease, and the patients' pain-related cognitions and behaviors.

Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Time-Limited, Internet-based Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (I-PCIT) in pediatric cancer

This study qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Time-Limited, Internet-Based PCIT among 2-12 year old children with cancer and their parent/s. We also used a community engaged approach to identify and evaluate potential PCIT adaptations to maximize cultural relevance of the intervention and decrease barriers for pediatric oncology families.
