Research Bio
Dr. Jee's primary areas of inquiry relate to health disparities for underserved children. Her work has focused on continuity of care, psychosocial issues for children, and health needs for children in foster care.
Dr. Jee's current research interests include resilience for children in the child welfare system and mental health needs for children in foster care. She has received funding from local foundations to do both primary data collection studies examining quality of care and adherence to clinical standards in foster care, and also from federal sources (Administration for Children and Families) to conduct secondary data analysis using nationally representative samples to study child welfare issues.
She has experience as a diagnostician for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and she has been an invited keynote speaker for local and statewide talks on this topic, as well as a member of a grant review panel for the Centers for Disease Control.
She has recently been selected as a Robert Wood Johnson Physician Faculty Scholar, which is a three-year mentored career development award. Her Physician Faculty Scholars Program project is entitled, "Primary Care-Based Mental Health Screening for Adolescents in Foster Care", and will use both qualitative and quantitative methods in a prospective study of teens entering the foster care system receiving primary care in a centralized health care model.
