I will be sharing my poster “Examination of sex differences in the association of interpersonal violence and symptoms of depression and anxiety among college students” at VCU’s Women’s Health Research Day #WHRD #WHRD2022 #VCU @POPGEM_Lab
ALT Research poster entitled “Examination of sex differences in the association of interpersonal violence and symptoms of depression and anxiety among college students.” Conclusion in large letters in the middle of the poster says, “Interpersonal violence is associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety and is moderated by sex.”
