Green's research has addressed trauma-related issues in multiple situations. In the years following the Buffalo Creek flood, Green examined the mental health of people in the twenty years following the flood. Following the Oklahoma City bombing, Green talked about the impact of the event on the mental health of survivors. She also provided training for medical professionals to enable them to work successfully with trauma patients.

The results of the study note that medication and psychotherapy interventions caused a reduction in symptoms of depression.
