Youth Epidemiology and Resilience Study (YEAR)
The most critical stage of development is childhood, as it shapes our mental resilience and determines how we deal with challenges later in life. The YEAR study is a national longitudinal study into the state of mental health of Singaporean adolescents aged 10-18 years.
It aims to:
- Determine the prevalence rate of various mental health conditions among adolescents and;
- Identify possible risks as well as protective factors associated with these disorders.
Mind Science Centre is currently preparing the manuscript, which is targeted for publication by the end of the year. Two infographics on the main findings from the YEAR study is available below:
