Dr. Rosberger is a leading researcher in clinical health psychology with over 40 years of experience, primarily in psychosocial oncology.

He has received funding from CIHR to study knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of Canadian women regarding shifts from Pap to primary HPV DNA testing. Additional research interests span the cancer trajectory, including infertility distress in young male cancer patients, melanoma prevention, psychosocial and coping concerns in adolescents and young adults with cancer, quality of life, coping, distress screening, fear of recurrence, and the psychosocial impact of diagnostic and treatment interventions.
