Biography

Julia Price, PhD is a research scientist and a licensed pediatric psychologist at the Center for Healthcare Delivery Science at Nemours Children's Health in Wilmington, Delaware. She is an Assistant Professor at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Price received her bachelor's degree from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine and her masters and doctoral degrees from Temple University. She completed her APA-accredited internship in pediatric psychology at Nemours Children's Health in Wilmington, Delaware, where she also completed her fellowship. Dr. Price is dedicated to improving equitable delivery of evidence-based integrated psychosocial care to youth experiencing illness or injury and their families. Under Dr. Price's clinical leadership (2013 – 2018), which included collaborative, multidisciplinary team-based care, integrated pediatric psychology services for families with a child with type 1 diabetes and families with a child with an injury expanded significantly. However, this clinical experience highlighted for Dr. Price that many families are not receiving evidence-based pediatric psychosocial care that could offer needed support and improve health and mental health outcomes. Leveraging her clinical expertise, advanced training in mixed methods and implementation science, and extramural funding, Dr. Price conducts research that aims to ensure delivery of effective psychosocial assessment and interventions matched to the needs of all families. She employs diverse approaches to increase equitable delivery of this care, from leveraging electronic health record data to developing and conducting projects that employ community engaged, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.
