The TIGER Health Research Lab engages in several distinct research projects, often at different stages in the research process. On this page you will find descriptions of some of our active in-progress projects.
Experiences of Violence and Maltreatment and later Sexual and Mental Health
Experiences of Violence and Maltreatment and later Sexual and Mental Health
We have two active projects using data from the International Sex Survey (ISS), with collaborators from University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).
The first uses data from 42 countries to examine relationships between sexual violence and psychological distress (e.g. depression and anxiety). We also examine differences between country and country-level income strata.
In addition, we examine childhood maltreatment and its relationship with two sexual health outcomes: sexual assertiveness and compulsive sexual behavior in a sample of Canadian adults.
Trauma, Resilience, and PTSD in Nurses
Trauma, Resilience, and PTSD in Nurses
People may have different responses to traumatic events. One line of the TIGER lab’s research is to examine a range of responses to traumatic events, including PTSD, resilience and resistance and how these responses relate to later health outcomes.
Current projects examine sleep health, metabolic syndrome, and microbiome. These projects draw on data from the Nurses Health Study Cohorts, in collaboration with Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Channing Division of Network Medicine at Brigham Women’s Hospital.
