Research
Dr. Bloeser's work focuses on the accessibility of post-deployment health care for military Veterans. Her work explores social work practice with Veterans, environmental exposure concerns, and implementation of evidence-based treatment for environmental exposure concerns. Most recently, Dr. Bloeser's work has examined the experiences of Veterans living with Gulf War Illness. Dr. Bloeser's work incorporates the experiences of marginalized groups of Veterans.
The Military Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Veterans.
A mixed-methods study examining minority stress, military experiences, and health care needs of Veterans who identify as LGBT. What experiences of violence, discrimination, and harassment did Veterans who identify as LGBT face in the military? What post-deployment health concerns might these Veterans have? What experiences do Veterans have in health care settings related to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity? How does resilience play a role in this population’s health?
