Dr. Judy McCook

Associate Professor, Dr. Judy McCook, who has been with the ETSU College of Nursing for ten years, is both an instructor and a researcher. She teaches two graduate level courses one in Interdisciplinary Bioethics and another in Clinical Outcomes Measurement. Her undergraduate teaching expertise is in the areas of maternity and women's health. Her ongoing bio-behavioral research focuses on women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). A longitudinal follow-up study is underway to examine the significant levels of negative affect including depression and anxiety reported by the original study of 128 women with PCOS. This fall Dr. McCook will begin a new data gathering phase in the ETSU university health clinic recruiting both women with PCOS and healthy ovulatory controls.

Dr. McCook has published one manuscript in JOGNN and she has three additional manuscripts underway. In the future, Dr. McCook will follow this research trajectory and continue studying infertility. For more information on Dr. McCook's research please contact her at: mccook@etsu.edu.
