Why do we sometimes overcome stressful events with ease, while we in other periods experience difficulties in response to such adversities? Why do individuals react differently to the same event?
The Critical Incidents and Psychological Adaptation (CIPA) study is a nationally representative, longitudinal investigation of mental health in the general adult and young adult population in Norway.
By monitoring nearly 20,000 participants over a 15-year time period, encompassing impactful events in their daily lives in addition to incidents of national and international significance, the CIPA study aims to elucidate the complex interplay between these critical events and individual susceptibilities in increasing the risk of developing common mental health disorders.
