Dr. Thomas's work has explored the influence of environmental factors on neighborhood gun crime and the relationship between immigration patterns and crime rates across U.S. communities. He also studies the long-term impacts of adverse childhood experiences and their co-occurrence with mental health conditions, particularly within specific demographic groups. His research extends to understanding trauma, bodily autonomy, and its association with depressive symptoms, and the role of self and collective efficacy in community resilience following natural disasters. He has also examined the tattoo environment as a therapeutic space for sexual assault survivors.
