I have worked on multiple research projects in India. In a small-scale study, I explored health and safety issues and the utility of the Danger Assessment (instrument designed to assess risk for future violence and homicides) among abused women in India. Using the Demographic Health Survey data, drawing from the risk factors from the Danger Assessment, I examined factors related to severe intimate partner violence and injuries among women in India. As part of my Center for AIDS Research International Award, I conducted a mixed methods study on violence and HIV risk issues among men and women who injected drugs in India. Most of my work has focused on the intersecting epidemics of exposures to violence, related health issues, coping and adaptation to traumatic life events, and trauma-informed interventions for at risk populations from diverse backgrounds
