Dr. Briana Woods-Jaeger is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education at Emory University. She received her PhD and MS in Clinical Child Psychology from the University of Washington.

Dr. Woods-Jaeger’s research examines social and structural processes that link the experience of child trauma and adversity to mental and physical health disparities. Her work focuses on partnering with communities to identify ways to prevent adverse childhood experiences, support different systems (e.g., education, juvenile justice, social services, health care) in understanding and responding to the needs of trauma-exposed youth, and improve access to culturally responsive, evidence-based psychological interventions for youth exposed to trauma and chronic stress. She serves as a primary investigator for the LINK for Equity study.
