    Research Overview

    Dr. Arnolds’ academic interests include ethical questions surrounding neonates born at the margin of gestational viability, as well as parental communication in the NICU. Her current projects involve mixed methods research to improve communication and shared decision-making during antenatal consultation for threatened extremely preterm birth and fetal anomalies and to better understand the experience of parents of children with rare disease in their interactions with social media. She also seeks to improve the process of antenatal counseling from a programmatic level, defining and incorporating best practices to lead a robust counseling service.
