OverviewAI-generated summary
Rajinder Sonia Singh's research focuses on mental health interventions and health equity, particularly for vulnerable populations. Dr. Singh investigates the effectiveness of group-based acceptance and commitment therapy for healthcare professionals in long-term care settings and examines the relationship between traditional masculinity ideology, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity, and treatment in service members and veterans through systematic reviews. Further work addresses conceptual barriers and recommendations for measuring intersectional microaggressions and calls for justice-based treatment approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder with sexual orientation and gender themes. Dr. Singh has published 51 papers, with an h-index of 17 and nearly 1000 citations. Key collaborators include Sara J. Landes, JoAnn E. Kirchner, Eva N. Woodward, and Karen L. Drummond, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
