Population Science
Dr. Kieran O’Donnell, Chair
Why do some children who experience adverse life experiences develop significant symptoms, psychosocial difficulties, and long-term disease, while others recover and continue with good health? The Consortium seeks to identify mechanisms that lead to poor outcomes and, conversely, the skills that can promote positive outcomes, adopting a Person-to-Population approach. A primary goal of the Population Science pillar is to bring together cohorts and data resources that provide deeper insight on the impact of adversity stress and trauma on human health.
