Dr. Smith is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and a Research Health Scientist in the National Center for PTSD Women’s Health Sciences Division at VA Boston Healthcare System. His federally funded research program is focused on the effects of traumatic stress and mental health sequelae—PTSD, depression, and salient comorbidities—on outcomes related to physical health, functioning, and quality of life. He examines these outcomes and associated risk and resilience factors in populations at heightened risk for trauma exposure, especially military veterans, and often examines psychosocial risk models in the context of gender differences as well as aging. The examination of trauma-related research questions with public health and clinical services implications is a theme that cuts across his research program. He also has a general interest in the application of advanced statistical methods in health sciences research. More generally, Dr. Smith has a long standing interest in examining the social context of health-related behaviors, mechanisms, and outcomes.
