Dr. Elizabeth Donovan is a psychologist who teaches courses in health, developmental, and introductory psychology.
She is interested in how biological, psychological, and social factors interact to affect health. Much of her research focuses on psychosocial interventions and how they can lead people to be both happier and healthier. This includes creating and/or evaluating interventions designed to increase mindfulness, self-compassion, and social support among people living with stress, pain, or addiction.

- PSCY 101: Introduction to Psychological Science
Research/Special Projects
Her research centers around empowering people to manage their health. She collaborates with medical schools to create and evaluate technology-based, psychosocial interventions for families living with painful chronic diseases. An example is a mobile-based intervention to increase mindfulness and social support among adolescents and young adults living with sarcoma. She also evaluates mind-body interventions designed to help college students manage stress, such as an in-person intervention designed to increase self-compassion among students. Finally, she collaborates with teams to deliver community-based interventions designed to reduce health risks, for example, by increasing the availability of naloxone to reduce opioid overdose. She enjoys working closely with students in the Health Psychology Lab on many of these projects. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
