Ana Radovic, MD, MSc

Administrative Assistant: Erika Phillips

Radovic is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh. She is a pediatrician and subspecialist in Adolescent Medicine. Radovic completed her undergraduate and medical school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She completed pediatrics residency and adolescent medicine fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and also received a Masters in Clinical Science at the University of Pittsburgh.

Radovic's research focuses on how to use technology to improve mental health services for adolescents and young adults with symptoms of depression or anxiety. She has studied primary care provider attitudes toward approaching shared decision making with parents; the use of electronic order sets and screening decision aids to improve the integration of behavioral health services in primary care settings; and the impacts of social media and technology use in depressed adolescents and their parents. Her team developed a website intervention for teens with symptoms of depression or anxiety - sova.pitt.edu - to allow adolescents to anonymously share their stories in a safe space, counteract negative attitudes toward treatment, and provide opportunities for social support. Radovic has collaborated with multiple internal and external research teams on NIH funded clinical trials to develop and investigate technological solutions to improving mental health services for adolescents, including investigating the use of passive sensing to develop a mobile application to predict symptoms of depression in adolescents (NCT05376358), understanding the utility of online social support to increase help-seeking (NCT06083987), evaluating psychoeducational online social support interventions in community settings (NCT06066697), and understanding the utility of virtual peer support and digital CBT for adolescent and emerging adults with sickle cell disease (NCT06374238). 

Radovic has been funded by an institutional career development award, the PCOR K12 award, to develop training in human computer interaction and stakeholder engagement and completed a K23 early career investigator award from NIMH. She is a core faculty member of the University of Pittsburgh Center for Behavioral Health, Media, and Technology and a center investigator and co-leader of stakeholder engagement for the ALACRITY-funded Enhancing Treatment and Utilization for Depression and Emergent Suicidality in Pediatric Primary Care study (etudes.pitt.edu) in collaboration with PITT Department of Psychiatry. 

Since 2024, Dr. Radovic has served as an Assistant Dean of Medical Student Research at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She also collaborates with multiple research teams, trainees, and youth interested in advocating for adolescent health research as the Director of Clinical Research in the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine and Faculty Advisor of the Center for Adolescent and Young Adult Health (CAYAH) Youth Research Advisory Board.
