Briana Woods-Jaeger, PhD
Principal Investigator
Dr. Woods-Jaeger’s research examines social and structural processes that link the experience of child trauma and adversity to mental and physical health disparities. Her work focuses on partnering with communities to identify ways to prevent adverse childhood experiences; support different systems (e.g., education, juvenile justice, social services, health care) in understanding and responding to the needs of trauma-exposed youth; and improve access to culturally responsive, evidence-based psychological interventions for youth exposed to trauma and chronic stress. Dr. Woods-Jaeger uses mixed methods to design, implement, and evaluate culturally-relevant, community-based interventions to mitigate health disparities.
