About
Alanna Hooper is a pediatric urology researcher whose work focuses on the complex decision-making processes and emotional outcomes faced by families in pediatric surgical care. Her most-cited study, "Parental decision regret after pediatric urologic surgeries compared to decisions of everyday life" (2024, 6 citations), offers a novel, comparative framework for understanding how parents evaluate their choices in high-stakes medical contexts versus routine life decisions. This work highlights her key research areas: pediatric urology, shared decision-making, and the psychosocial impact of surgical interventions on families. By quantifying and contextualizing parental regret, Hooper provides critical insights that can improve preoperative counseling and support for caregivers. Her research bridges clinical practice and patient-centered outcomes, emphasizing the importance of emotional well-being alongside surgical success. Though early in her career, Hooper’s focused contributions are already shaping conversations around family-centered care in pediatric surgery, making her a promising voice in the field.
