Research

[edit]

Green's research has addressed trauma-related issues in multiple situations. In the years following the Buffalo Creek flood, Green examined the mental health of people in the twenty years following the flood.[6] Following the Oklahoma City bombing, Green talked about the impact of the event on the mental health of survivors.[7] She also provided training for medical professionals to enable them to work successfully with trauma patients.[8] Green is also known for her work identifying symptoms of psychiatric issues within people with early-stage breast cancer,[9] and for her work examining the effectiveness of intervention for low-income and minority women with depression. The results of the study note that medication and psychotherapy interventions caused a reduction in symptoms of depression.[10]
