Susan Yoon, Ph.D

Associate Professor
The Ohio State University, United States

Susan Yoon, PhD is an Associate Professor in the College of Social Work at the Ohio State University. Dr. Susan Yoon’s research seeks to promote resilience and well-being in children who have experienced childhood trauma, including child maltreatment. She is particularly interested in identifying factors, mechanisms and pathways that promote or hinder resilient development following child maltreatment. Her current research focuses on (1) an exploration of the conceptualization and measurement of the construct “resilience”; (2) investigation of the developmental pathways from child maltreatment to behavioral health outcomes in childhood and adolescence (e.g., adolescent substance use); and (3) the role of fathers in resilient development of maltreated youth. Her research has been funded by the NIH National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the U.S. Administration for Children & Families (ACF), and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). She is a recipient of the 2020 Karen Saywitz Early Career Award for Outstanding Contributions to Research in the Field of Child Maltreatment from the American Psychological Association (APA). She received her BA and MSW from Ewha Womans University in South Korea and earned her Ph.D. in social welfare from Case Western Reserve University.
