BIO
Dr. Dworkin is an Acting Assistant Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine’s Center for the Study of Health and Risk Behaviors. She received her Ph.D. in clinical-community psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2016 and completed her predoctoral internship in clinical psychology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center/VA Medical Center Consortium. Her research explores how the social, community, and cultural contexts in which trauma survivors recover affect their well-being, and seeks to identify strategies to intervene in these contexts to reduce psychopathology following trauma. She is currently funded by a K99R00 career development award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to test a web-based early intervention to prevent the development of PTSD and problem drinking following sexual assault.
