Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Social support and Life course approach.

Her work deals with themes such as Psychological intervention, Traumatic stress, Socioeconomic status and Distress, which intersect with Mental health. She focuses mostly in the field of Traumatic stress, narrowing it down to topics relating to Collective efficacy and, in certain cases, Clinical psychology. Many of her research projects under Developmental psychology are closely connected to Respondent with Respondent, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Her research integrates issues of Socioeconomic status, Depressive symptoms, Multinomial logistic regression and Life events in her study of Gerontology. Her work carried out in the field of Mental health brings together such families of science as Personal experience, Multiple Chronic Conditions, Heart disease, Pediatrics and Depression.

Her study in Successful aging is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Empirical research and Healthy aging. In her study, Stressor and Coping is inextricably linked to Poisson regression, which falls within the broad field of Traumatic stress.
