Biography

Dr. Bowie’s research addresses gaps in fostering interpersonally and physically safe environments for children and families.  Her research raises awareness of the harmful effects of microaggression and sibling aggression on children. Through her work related to harmful sibling aggression, she co-developed and introduced a screening tool for harmful sibling aggression that can be administered during well child visits. Dr. Bowie’s research also addresses health threats for adults. She has partnered across interdisciplinary teams to develop and pilot a cost-effective respite care model for homeless individuals needing a safe place to recover from illness. Working with health economics colleagues, Drs. Hiedemann and Vernon) she addressed risks to women’s health associated with oral contraceptives, namely, flawed assumptions regarding the cost-effectiveness of screening for thrombophilia prior to prescribing combined oral contraceptives. Dr. Bowie received her BSN, MSN and MBA from the University of San Diego and her PhD from the University of Washington.
