The HART lab is a fully ambulatory psychophysiological laboratory. That means that we use equipment to measure physiological signals and biological processes (e.g., autonomic and neuroendocrine responses) associated with stress and health both in lab and field settings.
RESEARCH THEMES
- Interventions to improve the wellness capacity and occupational functioning of public safety personnel exposed to trauma and organizational/operational stress.
- Biopsychosocial interventions to improve de-escalation training and reduce police use-of-force
- Health and resilience among LGBTQ2S+ persons
Professor Andersen and all lab members acknowledge the land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and, the Mississauga’s of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we acknowledge that there are treaties and other agreements that cover the territory now call Ontario. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on this land.
