YCCCH Seminar Series: "Mental Health after Natural Disasters: State of the Research and Future Directions"

Join the Yale Center on Climate Change and Health as we welcome Dr. Sarah Lowe, YSPH Assistant Professor of Public Health (Social and Behavioral Sciences), as she discusses: "Mental Health after Natural disasters: State of the Research and Future Directions." Registration via Eventbrite is required.

Professor Lowe’s research focuses on the long-term mental health consequences of a range of potentially traumatic events, as well as the impact of such events on other domains of functioning, such as physical health, social relationships, and economic wellbeing. Her work explores the mechanisms leading from trauma exposure to symptoms, and the role of factors at various ecological levels – from genetics to neighborhoods – in shaping risk and resilience. She uses a range of methodologies to achieve her research aims, including structural equation modeling, latent growth curve analysis, geospatial modeling, and qualitative analysis, among others.
