Research edit

Bonnie L. Green's research has addressed trauma related issues within low-income communities, specifically women in need. During her time specializing in Trauma Psychology, Green's research has aided in the development of intervention guidelines for communities exposed with trauma, as well as Continuing Medical Education, CME, which provides training methods to physicians. CME addresses Green's major research topic by training medical professionals to successfully work with trauma patients. [3]

"Trauma history as a predictor of psychologic symptoms in women with breast cancer" [4] is a study that allows us to identify symptoms of psychiatric issues within people with early-stage breast cancer, specifically women. The findings emphasize the importance of knowledge of trauma history and the implications that holds for cancer patients, and their ability to adjust to diagnosis and treatment.

"Treating Depression in Predominantly Low-Income Young Minority Women" [5] studies the effectiveness of intervention for low-income and minority women with depression. The results of the study depict that medication and psychotherapy interventions caused a reduction in symptoms of depression. Evidently, this study is important because it provides us knowledge of methods of intervention and their effectiveness in aiding people with depression, especially those in communities in which it is prevalent.
