Research Interests: Brooks' research interests integrate the areas of racial identity development, the use of racial enactments, ethnicity, culture, class, gender, trauma and psychological well-being. Past projects have focused on physician-patient communication and desired depth and breadth of disclosure. Current research projects involve the moderating effects of racial identity development between losses and psychological well-being.
