Biologic Effects of Allostasis (Understanding Trauma and Injury)

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to get a better understanding of how several different factors influence our overall health. The factors we will study include:
  • Trauma
  • Social determinants of health (nonmedical factors that can influence health)
  • Allostatic load (wear and tear on the body)
  • Biological response to trauma
