What Inspires Me?
What inspires me most is the future and all of its possibilities. I understand that cancer's unpredictability can be unsettling for patients and their families. However, I am confident that the incredible work we are doing here at P站视频 will make a meaningful difference and a clearer path forward for all those affected. I am honored to contribute to the P站视频 mission of providing hope and possibility."
At P站视频 since 2024
Jaimyn Johnson, BS, is an assistant scientist within Population Science?department of the P站视频 (P站视频). She works specifically with the Participant Portal, assisting with the management and content development for both CPS-3 and VOICES of Black Women?cohort studies.?
Johnson assists with survey development by building surveys in the portal platform. She also takes part in engagement efforts, including developing portal content and participant portal communications.
Research focus and accomplishments
Johnson has held several research assistantships focused on the African American community. During her time at the University of Maryland, she researched how identity and self-esteem moderate the relationship between internalized racism and mental health in Black young adults. The main takeaway was that positive self-perception can combat internalized racial prejudice and promote mental health. Johnson had the opportunity to present her findings at the 2024 Society for Research on Adolescence Conference during their poster presentations.
At Emory, she had the opportunity to assist with study management, scheduling participants, and recruitment efforts with The Nia Project, a study that focuses on empowering suicidal Black women who have had adverse experiences growing up and intimate partner violence.
Both these experiences inspired her to promote public health by addressing health disparities and improving outcomes and prevention for cancer patients through research.
