Risk and Resilience in Ukraine Project Lead: Ann T. Skinner, PhD
Project Overview
Risk and Resilience in Ukraine is a quantitative study examining the impact of war in Ukraine on adolescent and young adult well-being, psychosocial adjustment, coping, and health. We are collecting self-report and biological (e.g., hair sample) data from youth and their parents across 7 regions of Ukraine, and have pilot tested a daily diary study for use in Ukraine and with Ukrainians in Poland. Our work will form the basis of needed longitudinal studies to examine the long-term impact of the war on development and family functioning, with attention given both to risk and protective factors.
