Dr. Miller-Graff's research examines the developmental and intergenerational effects of exposure to violence in childhood. Working within an ecological framework, her research seeks to understand how various systems (i.e., individual, family, and community) interact to promote or inhibit healthful development following violence exposure. Dr. Miller-Graff has a particular interest in the adaptation and evaluation of treatment in LMIC and conflict-affected settings. Current research projects include the effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women and children’s health and adjustment in the perinatal period, and the adaptation, development, and evaluation of psychological interventions for violence-exposed pregnant women and for families living in settings of chronic violence.
