Dr. Nhial T. Tutlam is an assistant professor and associate director of research at the International Center for Child Health and Development (ICHAD) based at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis. He is also a former Fogarty Global Health fellow in Washington University’s ACHIEVE Training program. His research centers on the mental health impact of war trauma among youth from conflict-affected families resettled as refugees in the U.S. and those still residing in refugee camps in Sub-Saharan Africa with the aim of developing and testing culturally congruent community-based interventions to address the myriad of mental health challenges in this vulnerable population. Dr. Tutlam is currently leading a study to adapt and test a combination intervention to address emotional and behavioral health challenges related to intergenerational trauma among adolescents born in the U.S. to parents resettled as refugees. Additionally, Dr. Tutlam is currently leading studies to understand factors around adherence to HIV treatment, trauma-associated mental disorders, sexual decision-making, and the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on refugee youth in refugee
settlements in Uganda.
