Research Abstract
My research examines early biopsychosocial predictors (e.g., genetic susceptibility, acute stress, media exposure) of long-term mental (stress symptoms, worry, time perspectives) and physical health ailments (e.g., cardiovascular disease, stroke) following exposure to individual, collective, and intergenerational racial trauma. I have studied responses to wildfires, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Boston Marathon Bombings, the Orlando Night Club Shooting, and Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Michael. I lead a prospective longitudinal study addressing responses to the COVID-19 pandemic among a national sample of Americans in which I am examining the racial/ethnic disparities in health/well-being during the pandemic.

Short Biography
My research has examined early predictors of subsequent trauma-related mental and physical health ailments. I have served as Principal Investigator or co-PI on multiple community-based studies of coping with a variety of collective traumas (e.g., firestorms, terrorism, COVID-19) funded by the National Science Foundation and the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. We started this work in 1993 when my colleague, Dr. Roxane C. Silver, and I pioneered a novel methodological approach for studying the impact of collective traumas on communities – acute response surveys collected in real time within days of the event. We also advanced research on collective traumas by using large representative samples of Americans whose mental and physical health status was assessed before the event. These methods significantly advanced trauma research by eliminating retrospective recall bias of acute responses, including baseline pre-event health assessments, and following large representative samples of Americans over several years. Our studies have covered responses to the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Boston Marathon Bombings (BMB), the Orlando Nightclub Shooting, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Michael, and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings conceptually advanced trauma research by documenting the powerful impact of media-based exposure. After the BMB, we showed that extensive daily media exposure to the event in the subsequent week was a stronger predictor of acute stress than was direct exposure at the site, and that this media exposure fed into a cycle of distress, worry about the future, later media exposure to a different collective trauma, and more distress. What you see also matters – exposure to graphic images contributes to distress and poor functioning above and beyond the effect of quantity of media exposure experienced. Finally, we also documented the role of 9/11-related acute stress in subsequent new-onset cardiovascular ailments in a large representative sample of Americans most of whom only saw the 9/11 attacks through the media. Together this innovative body of research, published in high impact journals (e.g., PNAS, JAMA), has transformed trauma research by questioning some of the core assumptions about what constitutes trauma exposure, how it affects people mentally and physically, and how they cope.
