The Office for Public Engagement named Associate Professor Sarah Hoffman, PhD, MPH, RN, a recipient of the 2024 University of Minnesota Community-Engaged Scholar Award. The award represents one of the University's highest honors for community-engaged scholarship.
Hoffman studies the longitudinal health of refugees post-resettlement and the intergenerational effects of trauma in families, specifically intrafamily trauma communication. She also practices as a sexual assault nurse examiner.
Community partners include the Center for Victims of Torture, the Karen Organization of Minnesota, M Health Fairview Clinic – Roselawn and WellShare
“My research would not be possible without community engagement and community partners. I think it’s so important in understanding what questions need to be asked and what solutions are feasible and culturally responsive,” says Hoffman.
