Currently I have been focusing more on intimate partner violence and Chinese immigrant women’s health. I'm designing and testing an empowerment-based intervention for Chinese immigrant survivors of IPV to reduce their risk of re-victimization and improve their psychological well-being. Another research area is understanding and addressing the effects of childhood trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder on women’s health and childbearing outcomes and their biological/neuroendocrine pathways. I am also interested in examining Chinese American/immigrants’ mental health issues and access to mental health services.
I have worked with undergraduate and graduate students on my previous project. They assisted in data management in my previous project. Please feel free to email me if you are interested in my research and if you would like to be involved in my research projects.
