Dr. Levesque’s research focuses on improving quality of life and psychosocial well-being for children with cancer, survivors and their families. Her work focuses on developing and evaluating supportive care and behavior change interventions, as well as assessing the evolution of psychosocial outcomes across the cancer continuum.
