Research Abstract
My primary research interests are in how negative life events and community disasters impact physical and mental health across the lifespan, and how community-based interventions might help alleviate the deleterious effects of trauma-exposure. I am currently Principal Investigator of two NSF-funded studies examining the psychological implications of the COVID-19 crisis and an NIH-funded clinical trial of a mindfulness-based interventions for trauma-exposed homeless women.
My previous research projects have included a National Science Foundation-funded longitudinal study of American's reaction to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings; two studies that assessed longitudinal psychosocial reactions to the 2010 8.8 magnitude Chilean earthquake; and a National Science Foundation-funded longitudinal study of natural disaster preparation in a nationally representative sample of Americans.
I am committed to bridging the gap between empirical findings and public policy, and have presented findings from my research at the Ministry of Health and at the Presidential Palace in Santiago, Chile and have worked with leaders at the Institute of Health and Futures and the Chilean Board of Assistance and Scholarships in Chile.
