The Alabama Institute for Behavioral Health and Research is highly committed to the exploration and discovery of new information about the human mind, cognition, emotion, and behavior. Each year it engages in joint research ventures with other brilliant scientists from a number of universities and agencies in a never-ending effort to learn all there is to learn about the human condition. Since its founding, AIBHR has been a partner in eight individual research projects that have produced just as many peer-review journal article publications.
The topics focused on have been Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Sexual Trauma, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Suicide, Veteran Suicide, Insomnia Among Veterans w/PTSD, and others. This list continues to grow and includes Bruxing behaviors and sleep disruption.
