Psychological adjustment following complex trauma among children and adolescents in emergency settings.

儿童是灾难环境中最脆弱的群体之一，但人们对复杂创伤后心理困扰的发展知之甚少。哈佛大学和西澳大利亚大学进行的研究将调查日常压力因素如何影响受战争和自然灾害影响的儿童的心理困扰和恢复能力。研究结果将为制定针对澳大利亚难民青年的循证心理健康干预措施提供信息。

Children are among the most vulnerable in disaster settings, and yet little is known about the development of psychological distress following complex trauma. Research conducted at Harvard University and The University of Western Australia will investigate how daily stressors impact psychological distress and resilience among children affected by war and natural disaster. The findings will inform the development of evidence-based mental health interventions for refugee youth in Australia.
