What better way to honor #InternationalWomensDay2022 than proposing a dissertation on #Trauma and #WomensHealth? Ecstatic to announce that I am a #CPhil! Grateful for a committee of brilliant women psychologists (cc @SumnerStressLab @carolynjo25) and the privilege to do this work

Very excited to highlight a new review paper led by our PhD student @c_meinhausen with @AricPrather and Dr. Sumner on the role of sleep in the link between PTSD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Health Psychology. doi.org/10.1037/hea0001143

Sleep disturbances have also been linked to CVD risk. Specifically, hypertension and inflammatory processes in the body are highly sensitive to sleep disturbances and can contribute to the development of CVD.

To date, research examining sleep in the context of the PTSD-CVD link has been largely unexamined, so this paper outlines recommendations for future research. Findings from these studies may eventually be incorporated into clinical practice.
Check out @ShilohKCleve's poster on #PTSD and #coping @ISTSSnews #ISTSS2021! This "symptomics" approach parses apart how much variance each individual #PTSD symptom (e.g., #hypervigilance) accounts for in an outcome (e.g., #avoidant coping). A cool method with many implications!
