Another 2008 study focused on how the immersion experience in rural communities impacted medical students' learning and confidence, finding that RPAP provided valuable hands-on experience, one-on-one mentoring, and increased autonomy compared to metropolitan peers. A 2009 paper completed the work of
William N. Friedrich, with the development of the sexual abuse severity score. The abuse characteristics of 156 CSA respondents were associated with self-reported trauma, somatization, and alcohol use. Characteristics included: age of first sexual abuse, more than one perpetrator, degree of coercion, severity of abuse (i.e. attempted intercourse is more severe than fondling), and the number of occurrences. This was one of the few reports to develop a risk summary that quantifies the severity of childhood sexual abuse. In her investigation of the challenges and motivators for small primary care practices in Minnesota regarding their participation in regional health information exchanges (HIEs), her 2010 paper highlighted the need for better leadership and financial incentives to achieve comprehensive integration.

The study also reported that increased costs were primarily due to higher usage of mental health services, hospitalizations, and clinic visits, rather than emergency room services. In related research, her 2003 paper investigated how children influenced their mothers' decisions regarding intimate partner violence (IPV), focusing on how witnessing abuse affected children and how mothers weighed these effects when managing abusive relationships. It also explored mothers' desires for support from their children's physicians, including IPV screening, resources, and non-blaming education about the impact of IPV on their children.
