Health Effects of Spousal Bereavement in Late-life

Sarah Stahl, PhD Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical and Translational Science

We hope you will join us for the Meet the PI lecture on April 5, 2024 featuring the research of Sarah Stahl, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical and Translational Science. 

An expert in geriatric psychiatry, Dr. Stahl investigates risk factors for poor health outcomes in older adults, as well as their underlying mechanisms and the development of interventions to alter those outcomes. Her research focuses on understanding changes in the daily rhythms of health behaviors in the wake of stressful life events such as spousal bereavement and dementia caregiving, which frequently occur later in life. Dr. Stahl has identified novel risk factors for late-life depression that deal with psychological or interpersonal mechanisms, as well as with brain function.
