She has devoted much of her clinical practice to helping women cope with traumatic experiences including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, abortion, childhood sexual abuse, and sexually transmitted infection. In one of their studies, Wyatt and her research team conducted interviews of African-American women who were HIV positive or negative over the span of a year. Women who were HIV positive had more depressive symptoms, less education, and lower income as compared to women who were HIV negative, and they were more likely to report experiencing intimate partner violence. Such findings underscore the women's vulnerability with implications for HIV and STD prevention efforts. In years prior there have been many concerns regarding African-American women and AIDS since it was mainly focused on those who have used drugs and/or had sex with users. . African American women whose age range from 25 to 44 are 13 times more likely to die of AIDS. Wyatt developed and validated the Wyatt Sexual History Questionnaire, a structured interview used to elicit women's consensual and coercive sexual experiences, that may be administered via telephone or face-to-face. Her research program has been funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), including a prestigious NIMH Research Scientist Career Development Award.
