Cracks Beneath the Surface: The Intersection of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD in the UK Police Force and General Population
Lead Research Organisation:
UNIVERSITY OF EXETER
Department Name: Psychology
Abstract
research project involves applying mixed methods and advanced statistical models, including thematic analysis, structural equation modelling and machine learning to investigate trauma-related stress in police officers. The aim of this is to better understand, predict and reduce risk of psychological distress in the UK police population. I am particularly interested in the presence of polytrauma (traumatic brain injury, mental health issues and substance use) and how this may compound post-traumatic stress.
