Research Interests
Dr. Koopman's research focuses on survivors of a variety of stressful events such as political or interpersonal violence, natural disasters and serious illness. In these studies, Dr. Koopman examines relationships between the severity of traumatic exposure and disease, previous life history, risk and resilience factors, and demographic characteristics with the symptoms of acute and other stress reactions. Dr. Koopman's research also focuses on social interventions that promote physical and mental health in communities. Much of Dr. Cheryl Koopman's funded research focuses on people with serious illnesses, including breast/gynecological cancer, Lyme disease, and HIV/AIDS. Currently, her Stanford team is collaborating with community-based partners from Northern Sierra Rural Health Network to evaluate the effects of providing support groups via videoconferencing on improving quality of life for women living with breast cancer in rural areas. Also, Dr. koopman is currently collaborating with experts in Lyme disease and biostatistics to investigate the diverse manifestations of Lyme disease in relation to symptoms, signs, and diagnostic tests.
