Female
This study is looking at finding biomarkers in blood and saliva samples that will help detect the symptoms of Sjrogrens disease earlier than current diagnosis time.  Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the mucous membranes and moisture-secreting glands of your eyes and mouth, resulting in decreased tears and saliva.  For this study, we will compare samples from a group of females with pre-Sjögren’s disease conditions (fibromyalgia, joint pain, and fatigue) with samples from females who do not have these conditions. We are looking for females (biological sex at birth), 30 years of age or older, who either have fibromyalgia, joint pain, or chronic fatigue OR  are generally healthy (with no history of these conditions) to participate.

This will be accomplished by examining the patterns of occurrence of angry and aggressive reactions that people with TBI have over two weeks, and associations of these reactions to contextual factors, personal characteristics, appraisals of real-life events, and emotion regulation behaviors using ecological momentary assessment (EMA).  We are enrolling community-dwelling adults ≥10 months post-complicated mild to severe TBI who are participants in the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - All potential subjects for this study must be actively enrolled in their centers existing Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) study (for IU, IRB#1211010085). Participants at each center who have provided follow up data for the TBIMS National Database (NDB) may be eligible to be recruited. Recruitment and prescreening may occur in-person and/or via phone call and/or virtual visit during or after TBIMS study follow-up data collection.

Female
Many individuals who experience extremely stressful or traumatic events may feel irritable or on edge, have unpleasant memories of the event that they try to avoid, and feel more distant from others. Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a treatment that can help, particularly pregnant and postpartum women who have gone through very stressful or traumatic experiences.  In NET, women talk through their life stories with a therapist to process stress and emotional pain. We are especially focusing on supporting Black women and women living in rural areas who may have faced difficult challenges. The goal of our study is to help participants learn (and practice) new ways to cope with these difficulties during an important time in their life.   All study tasks can be completed virtually (online and via webcam). There is no transportation required required to participate.  Virtual sessions will be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you. You will be compensated for your time.
