Parental Education and Child Well-Being in Haiti

(Principle Investigator) This study examines the impact of an intervention designed to increase positive interaction between parent and child by assisting parents in improving their child’s ability to cope with trauma, express feelings, and behave appropriately. In addition to determining if this intervention is effective in the short and long term, we are also interested in looking at whether it is more effective when the father, mother or both parents are the recipients of the intervention.

Assessment of Mental Health Risk and Resiliency in Post-Earthquake Haiti

(Co-Investigator with PI Leah James) This project aims to test hypothesized risk and resiliency factors in the development of posttraumatic stress among residents of camps for internally displaced peoples (IDP) in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. A secondary aim is to determine whether participation in a mental health intervention "Soulaje Lespri Moun" (Relied for the Spirit) which has been implemented in some camps is associated with differences in distress and other factors. To these ends, samples of intervention participants and non-participants will be interviewed to measure PTSD symptoms, plans for and uncertainty about the future, individualism and collectivism, posttraumatic growth, and dissociative experiences.

Interactions with Security Providers and Public Opinion (Principle Investigator) This study examines data collected between 2007 and 2010 documenting interactions between peacekeepers on routine patrols and Haitian citizens. Trained oberservers documented peacekeeper behavior in public and 3200 randomly chosen neighborhood residents were interviewed to gauge public opinion about the peacekeeping mission. This study examines the relationship between peacekeeper behavior (such as pointed ones weapon in the air instead of at eye level) and the opinion of individuals living in area to determine if actions by individual soldiers and small patrol units have any measurable affect on the opinions of the citizens about the UN mission.
