Biography

Jennie Noll, PhD, is a professor of pediatrics in the Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology. Her primary program of research has focused on the bio-psycho-social health consequences of severe childhood abuse. Through long-term, prospective longitudinal study, Dr. Noll and her colleagues have published some of the most definitive research attesting to the abuse sequelae spanning a host of developmental outcomes including obesity, health-care utilization, teen pregnancy, premature delivery, steep disturbances, stress-responsivity, HPA activity, and cognitive abilities.

Dr. Noll has forged a particular niche within the field of child maltreatment with her focus on the comprehensive assessment of sexual attitudes and activities, as well as variations in sexual development observed in teens abused as children. In her current R01, over 500 females are being assessed longitudinally throughout adolescence in order to explicate pathways to aberrant sexual development that are directly attributable to the trauma of childhood abuse. Dr. Noll has conducted longitudinal studies of abused women spanning more than 20 years and has published numerous papers attesting to the long-term deleterious health outcomes and intergenerational impact of childhood sexual abuse.

Dr. Noll holds a joint appointment in CCHMC’s Epidemiology and Biostatistics where she applies quantitative methods and longitudinal data analyses which include time series, trajectory, structural modeling and growth curve approaches Most recently, Dr. Noll has conducted research regarding adolescent internet use patterns, exposures to sexual media, online social behaviors and risk for internet-initiated victimization.
