Rina Fox is a clinical health psychologist and Co-Director of the Cancer Center's Behavioral Measurement and Interventions Shared Resource. Her research is broadly focused on delineating how psychosocial processes impact adjustment to and coping with cancer, with an emphasis on developing and testing behavioral interventions to improve symptom management and health related quality of life (HRQOL) among cancer survivors. She is particularly interested in the role of sleep in HRQOL among diverse cancer survivors, and in stress management among adolescent and young adult cancer survivors diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 39. In her research, she uses digital intervention delivery to improve access to psychosocial care and intervention optimization methods to decrease the burden of engaging with psychosocial interventions.

Dr. Fox received a BA in Psychology and Spanish from Tufts University, an MPH in Epidemiology from the San Diego State University Graduate School of Public Health, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the San Diego State University / University of California, San Diego Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology. She also completed an American Psychological Association accredited clinical internship at Rush University Medical Center, and a postdoctoral fellowship in cancer prevention and control at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. She is a member of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at the University of Arizona Cancer Center.
