Biography

Dr. Vogt is a Professor of Psychiatry in the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and Senior Research Scientist in the Women’s Health Sciences Division of the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder at VA Boston Healthcare System. Her program of research focuses on military veterans’ experiences of stress and trauma, mental health and well-being, and use of health care and other support services, particularly during the transition from military service to civilian life. Within this broader topic area, she has three primary areas of focus: (1) enhancing knowledge of how stressful and traumatic experiences impact military veterans’ mental health and well-being and factors that promote resilience in the face of these experiences; (2) identifying and reducing attitude- and knowledge-based barriers to veterans’ access to high-quality health care and other support services, and (3) developing and validating measures that can be used to advance knowledge related to Veterans' mental health and well-being. A key emphasis of her work across these three research areas has been on identifying, understanding, and improving the experiences and outcomes of women veterans.
