Biography

Dr. Sandberg is a pediatric psychologist and clinical researcher. As a clinician, he delivers psychoeducational and behavioral health services to persons with endocrine disorders and their families, in particular, conditions affecting linear growth or disorders of sex development (DSD). DSD are congenital conditions in which development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomic sex is atypical.

Dr. Sandberg's research program is closely linked to his clinical service and includes the study of the psychosocial aspects of short stature and the effects of growth hormone on quality of life outcomes. His research group also examines the psychosocial adaptation of persons born with DSD, and their families. He shares the role of principal investigator in a registry-based translational research network for DSD designed to extend discoveries in the genetics and pathophysiology of these conditions (DSD-Translational Research Network, NIH R01 HD068138). The network will standardize procedures in diagnosis and clinical decision-making and develop tools necessary to translate diagnostic and treatment protocols into clinical best practices.

Dr. Sandberg's focus on the psychosocial aspects of DSD is also reflected in the development of a psychoeducational treatment manual for clinicians caring for newborns with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) identified by newborn screen (subcontract to the National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resource Center). This preliminary work led to a grant (PI: Sandberg) to create a web-based platform for both providers and parents of newborns/young children with CAH (NIH R41 HD057714).

Dr. Sandberg has also been awarded a grant (PI: Sandberg, NIH R01 HD053637), to design health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures that focus on issues specific to, and shared by young children with DSD and their families, which are not otherwise covered by generic HRQoL measures .

Genital surgery in young children with DSD is among the most controversial topics in the management of these conditions. To ensure that decisions made by parents in consultation with their child's providers are evidence-based, balanced, and fully informed, Dr. Sandberg was recently awarded a contract from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI 1360). This multisite project that involves the input of provider specialists from multiple disciplines, representatives of DSD patient support/advocacy organizations and parents of affected children, will deliver a web-based decision support tool.
