Dr. Badura Brack is currently involved in two major grant funded research projects.  Her newest endeavor involves conducting a needs assessment of Creighton undergraduate students regarding their experiences of social isolation and loneliness to direct future programming that may improve feelings of belonging and connection.  Her other active line of research involves studying pregnancy-related stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as parents’ feelings of attachment to their developing fetus. This line of work includes randomized clinical trials of interventions designed to improve parental-fetal attachment and emphasizes assessing how pregnancy-related hormonal changes are associated with attachment and psychological symptoms during pregnancy.  Dr. Badura Brack has an ongoing interest in trauma exposure and PTSD and structural and functional brain changes related to these experiences.  Dr. Badura Brack is Chair of the IRB; she directs the Undergraduate Internship in Psychology Program; and she regularly teaches Internship, Psychopathology, Health Psychology, and Introductory Psychology.
