Dr. Sisco-Taylor received her PhD in Social/Personality Psychology with a concentration in Health from University of California, Riverside. Brittany’s research targeted at the psychosocial predictors and development of illness behaviors- that is, variability in people's responses to symptoms, including the propensity to seek out treatment and health services. By applying psychological models of health behavior change within a developmental framework, her research centered on disentangling the psychosocial and biological mechanisms that underlie these behaviors during various lifespan transitions.
