战争经历与长期精神健康问题的风险有关。受战争影响的青年（WAYS）研究包括539名年龄在18至25岁（基线）之间的青年（61%为女性），从乌干达北部受战争影响的青年人口中随机抽样。本研究旨在利用社会生态学模型，描绘战争对心理健康的长期影响轨迹，以及个人、家庭和社区环境风险和保护因素在影响心理健康过程中的作用，从而解决个人和社会生态问题。对战后背景的了解可以为非洲大湖区（卢旺达、布隆迪、刚果民主共和国、乌干达、中非共和国和南苏丹）冲突易发地区战后社会心理调整和重返社会的政策提供信息，并指导干预措施。已经进行了两波数据收集，并计划进行更多的数据收集。在基线时，获得了人口统计学特征、战前经历、社会心理结果、应对、污名/歧视、家庭和社区接受和关系、家庭功能和战后经历等方面的信息。在随访中，收集了关于一般健康、基于性别的暴力、创伤后应激障碍、社交技能、创伤记忆质量、反思、自尊和社会心理结果的信息。在提交研究计划并获得申请人所在机构的伦理批准后，可向首席研究员提出申请，获得访问数据的批准。这项研究是由惠康基金会和古鲁大学资助的。
War experiences are associated with the risk of long-term mental health problems. The War-affected Youths (WAYS) Study comprises a cohort of 539 youths (61% female) aged between 18 to 25 (at baseline) randomly sampled from the population of war-affected youths in northern Uganda. The study aims to chart the trajectory of long-term mental health consequences of war and the roles of individual, family, and community contextual risk and protective factors in influencing the course of mental health using Social Ecology Model, thus, addressing both the individual and its social ecology. Knowledge of postwar contexts may inform policy and guide interventions on postwar psychosocial adjustment and reintegration in conflict-prone Great Lakes region of Africa (Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, Uganda, Central African Republic, and South Sudan). Two waves of data collection have been conducted and more data collection is planned. At baseline, information on demographic characteristics, pre-war experiences, psychosocial outcomes, coping, stigma/discrimination, family and community acceptance and relationship, family functioning, and post-war experiences were obtained. At follow-up, information on general health, gender-based violence, PTSD, social skills, trauma memory quality, rumination, self-esteem, and psychosocial outcomes were collected. Approval to access the data can be obtained on application to the Principal Investigator upon submission of a research proposal with ethical approval from the applicant's institution. This research is funded by Wellcome Trust and Gulu University.
