Determinants of mental health and resilience processes in Kosovar individuals: a protocol study

Session

Psychology

Description

Socioeconomic status is related to mental health outcomes, particularly among individuals living in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) countries, including Kosovo. The CEMA study protocol is part of the larger consortia study of Reconnected Project EU (11 partners) which aims to understand the complex associations between complex mental health problems and resilience processes in Kosovar individuals, particularly those living in low SES compared to other SES backgrounds. Data was collected in N=347 participants females and males, aged 18 to 65 who live in Pristina municipality and the surrounding area. Participants completed a 40-minute core baseline questionnaire focusing on resilience, mental health functioning, social environment, coping mechanisms, social prescribing, as well mental health literacy, followed by 14-day Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) items consisting of daily stressors. Ecological momentary assessment data will develop a machine-learning framework which can be applied when delivering the personalised micro-interventions. The knowledge gained from the study will provide a better understanding of the role of socioeconomic status on mental health and resilience processes among individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds in Kosovo.
