OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Cara M. Antonaccio conducts research at John Brown University focusing on the intersections of poverty, education, and child welfare, with a particular emphasis on migration, health, and trauma. Her work spans diverse global and domestic contexts, including HIV/AIDS research and interventions, maternal mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, and mental health treatment access. Antonaccio employs both quantitative and qualitative methods to understand complex social phenomena. Recent studies include longitudinal research on stigma related to Ebola survivors, a pilot study on task-sharing interventions to improve caregiver mental health in Sierra Leone, and a person-centered analysis of hurricane trauma exposure. Additionally, she is involved in implementation science, as demonstrated by her work on measurement strategies, and is currently piloting an acceptance-based intervention for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among young Black men in the Southern United States. Her research aims to improve mental health outcomes and access to care for vulnerable populations.
