As a family and life course sociologist with expertise in social gerontology, Dr. Cooney studies older adults’ role (e.g., work, family) and health transitions, and family relationships. She is currently completing multiple papers addressing the influence marital status and family relationships have on adults’ end-of-life care planning, and another paper examining factors that mitigate caregiver stress for adult caregivers of heart-failure patients.
