Research Methodology Special Interest Group (RMSIG)

The ISTSS Research Methodology SIG:

  • explores current, state-of-the-art methodological approaches,
  • fosters communication among researchers and between researchers and practitioners
  • provides educational opportunities, especially aimed at new or junior investigators

In 2004, the RMSIG initiated a five-year series of meetings (the Conference on Innovations in Trauma Research Methods) that produced a rich interchange among researchers and several enduring products, including special sections of the Journal of Traumatic Stress.
