Research Interests

Extending the expertise in PTSD and substance abuse, a series of studies explore the epidemiology of domestic and global trafficking in person, physical and mental health consequences of victimization, heath care sector’s role in postvention and prevention; and policy advocacy to improve comprehensive services.

Common bio-psychosocial mechanisms of PTSD and other trauma spectrum pathologies were examined with a cohort of the Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) addressessing in-deployment and post-deployment mental health (e.g., PTSD) and reintegration issues working with Missouri National Guard and the Department of Defense. For prevention and postvention implementation, a mobile mental health (mHealth) study implements e-therapies combined with a physiological censoring.

Longitudinal component: This component continues with data analysis and findings dissemination of longitudinal surveys on a national sample of Vietnam veterans and marched controls consisting of 1972 baseline, 1974 follow-up, and 1996-7 follow-up and the last followup of 2001-2006 to examine long-term effects of war exposure, drug and alcohol abuse, psychiatric disorders and life events including suicidality up to middle life.
