Safe and Healthy Experiences (SHE)

We completed a DOD funded RCT of a computer based intervention delivered in primary care to increase uptake of mental health referrals in women veterans with sexual assault and risk factors of PTSD, alcohol misuse and IPV. The outcomes of the trial were positive and currently we are adapting the intervention to new setting and samples.

VA Merit Cohort Study

Our team completed a longitudinal cohort study of the family and functional outcomes of 350 Veterans who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. This work was funded by a VA Merit award. The goal of the study was to understand primary predictors of functional recovery and social and family functioning, and to examine gender differences in our outcomes. During the course of this study, the pandemic occurred and we conducted a mini COVID cohort study, examining IPV, social isolation and other variables every two months for about the first 8 months of the crisis. Our team also stewards the historical datasets from prior waves of the cohort study.
