Saltanat K. Childress, PhD (she/her/hers)

Assistant Professor
University of Texas at Arlington
Madison, WI, United States

Saltanat Childress, MSW, PhD is an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas-Arlington School of Social Work. The major focus of Saltanat Childress’s work is to better understand how to improve the behavioral, educational and health outcomes associated with childhood exposure to trauma, particularly adverse childhood experiences and domestic violence, at both local and global levels. Her research and practice seek to expand the scope of evidence-based approaches in prevention and implementation science, especially among populations in Central Asia and immigrants in the U.S. Her work seeks to respond to child maltreatment as a system-wide issue involving responses across all levels of family and social institutions. Her work is generating a growing body of peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and policy guidance in these areas.
Dr. Childress’s current research involves building formative theories about family and institutional dynamics to reduce childhood exposure to trauma, and the testing and evaluation of integrated evidence-based interventions using qualitative and mixed-methods in community-based, participatory approaches. Her social work practice background is in community development, economic empowerment and safety planning for intimate partner violence including projects supported by USAID, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, and European Commission in Central Asia. Her current studies are funded by the U.S. Department of State, Qatar Foundation International, and National Institutes of Health.
