My primary research aims are:
- To identify etiological pathways by which individuals develop co-occurring PTSD and alcohol use disorders so that we may better identify “at risk” individuals
- To develop and evaluate prevention programs geared towards decreasing individuals’ risk for psychopathology following trauma exposure
- To enhance our understanding of how best to treat individuals when they present in clinical settings with comorbid PTSD and alcohol use disorders
