Research Overview

Lindsay Frazier's research focuses on three main areas:

  1. Adolescent behaviors that predispose to adult malignancy (e.g., diet, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and level of physical activity;
  2. Prevention policies for both primary and secondary cancer;
  3. Treatment of germ cell tumors in pediatric patients.

Three cohort studies serve as the basis for this research: Nurses' Health Study I (NHS I), Nurses' Health Study II (NHS II), and the Growing Up Today Study (GUTS).
