Research (Concept Areas) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Dr. Baliko’s primary research interests involve the consequences of trauma and violence and mental health interventions following traumatic loss or interpersonal violence. She has conducted studies describing the experiences of family survivors of homicide, coping strategies of women survivors of life-threatening intimate partner violence (IPV), and has been a facilitator in the pilot of a retreat intervention for survivors of traumatic loss. She was a member of an interdisciplinary research team with a funded study exploring the use of linked multi-agency administrative data sets to profile women victims of IPV-related homicide. Dr. Baliko is currently pursuing funding to investigating the association between traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and other psychosocial issues in survivors of intimate partner violence. |
