Program Summary Enter a summary for non-‐specialists (maximum 300 words).
What do you want to do? Why do you want to do it? How will you do it? What is the expected outcome? At the WUN meeting in Washington DC in May 2013, a group of researchers began discussing the idea of contributing to a better understanding of the life-‐course through studying resilience in young people living in challenging environments. We are interested in studying young people or adolescents between the ages of 10 and 25 in order to find out how they understand and cope with adversity. The traditional approach in many studies characterising the risk factors for unhealthy outcomes focuses on the gaps or deficits in young peoples’ lives. By contrast an asset-‐based approach looking at resilience would seek to understand the inherent or acquired strengths of young people who have been successful in spite of adverse circumstances. Part of the debate taking place in this area is about the concept of resilience itself and so this project seeks to contribute an interdisciplinary understanding of the relationship between asset-‐based concepts of resilience, agency, capacity, reserve and capital, and existing theories relating to the life-‐course. We want to understand and build on the positive factors that promote constructive youth development and subsequent health.
Program Description In language intelligible to the non-‐specialist, describe what you intend to do, and how the effort will contribute to building or strengthening sustainable international research collaborations. Explain how it is new and important to scholars and/or society generally. Explain what you expect to be the outcome of the work, and its scholarly or other
impact. Explain how (and, if relevant, where) you and your collaborators will undertake the work. Where special skills or techniques are required at any point, make clear who will supply them (maximum 1000 words).
Weight: 20% 1. Research questions: • What are the understandings, definitions, experience and measurements of resilience that have been
used in the literature from different disciplinary perspectives? • How can we identify and prospectively measure the individual, family, social and environmental factors
which promote or facilitate resilience (or agency/capacity/capital/reserve) in young people across different cultural, and national contexts?
• What are the health outcomes that can be related to resilience? These may be in terms of physical and mental health, education, productivity, self-‐esteem, happiness and risk-‐behaviours.
• What interventions that promote greater resilience in young people are effective in influencing healthier outcomes?
2. Research methods: The opportunity exists within the WUN to conduct multi-‐centre studies of the same phenomenon in widely different contexts. Mixed research methods could include qualitative narrative approaches as well as large cross-‐sectional or cohort studies, including interventions. We will investigate resilience both at an individual level including biological, social and individual factors, as well as at a collective level that includes family structures, social networks and social capital, in the context of local pressures as well as the current global financial crisis. 3. Summary research question: How can we identify and measure factors (individual, family, social and environmental) and interventions which promote resilience (capacity/agency/capital/reserve) in young people across different cultural and national contexts? 4. Proposal for Research Development
WUN Research Development Fund Application Form 2013 3 July 2013
We propose to meet in Cape Town for a 2-‐day workshop immediately preceding the main WUN conference in March 2014, in order to develop a plan to address this theme over multiple sites and a number of years. a) Objectives We have two main objectives for the workshop:
i. To develop an interdisciplinary framework for describing and understanding resilience in young people in different contexts around the world.
ii. To develop a draft protocol for measuring resilience and its relationship to health outcomes in later life.
b) Workshop process: Over 2 days we plan use the diversity of the team to address the two main objectives through short provocations, brainstorming sessions, small group discussions, and sub-‐groups working on different parts of the proposal. Team members will be stimulated to speak in the language of disciplines with which they are unfamiliar in order to promote deeper interdisciplinary interchange and to forge some consensus, or at least to clarify differences in approach that are not able to be reconciled.
Relevance to WUN Goals Explain briefly how the program aligns with WUN strategic objectives (Weight 10%) and how it addresses a WUN Global
Challenge (Weight: 10%). (maximum 300 words). Weight: 20%
The resilience of adolescents in different cultural contexts is already listed as a WUN Public Health Global Challenge in 2013-‐2-‐14, and this proposal seeks to give substance to the concept. Resilience is quite clearly one perspective within a life-‐course approach to address non-‐communicable diseases, and the multi-‐country research opportunity afforded by the WUN will give us a range of views across low and middle income countries as well as developed societies.
Sustainability Outline how the program will build long-‐term, sustainable international relationships based on genuine commitment by the research partners. Describe the sustainability plans, including specific future funding levels and sources to support the
research collaboration after the RDF seed monies expire (maximum 300 words). Weight: 30%
A funding and sustainability strategy will be developed from the plan at the Cape Town workshop, for submission to a variety of funders, some of whose representatives will be present at the WUN conference which follows the workshop. It is envisaged that a main study could continue over a number of years in order to allow for a longitudinal cohort design, and other related studies could contribute to the whole.
Teamwork Outline how the program team will be led and constituted, including the participation of early career researchers and
PhD students (maximum 300 words). Weight: 10%
We have assembled a multi-‐disciplinary team of researchers who have an interest in this topic from different perspectives. These include psychology, psychiatry and mental health, sociology, paediatrics, ethics, philosophy, communication, social work, primary health care, social and community medicine, and public health. We plan to restrict the number of participants at the workshop to between 12 and 15, in order to produce a clear proposal which can then be shared with a wider group, including prospective PhD students and early career researchers.
The research team:

Anticipated outcomes List the key performance indicators (KPIs) of this project (eg: joint external funding applications, joint publications,
postgraduate training, policy input, novel technologies etc) (maximum 300 words). Weight: 20%
a) Workshop outcomes:
By the end of the workshop we aim to produce:
i. A consensus statement on an inter-‐disciplinary approach to resilience in young people, that will support joint investigations in different contexts that are both holistic and comprehensive.
ii. The outline of a draft research plan that can be taken to potential funders at the WUN conference as one of the public health Global Challenges, investigating the concept of resilience in young people and its association with health outcomes. Such a plan will not only be envisaged at multiple sites, but could incorporate existing sources of data, and could extend over some years in the future in order to include a longitudinal cohort component.
iii. A short report of the workshop for distribution within the WUN networks.
b) Documentation and publications
The workshop will be recorded and selected sections will be transcribed in order to begin creating an archive of data for the project. A graduate student from the University of Cape Town will be recruited to assist in drafting the documents arising from the discussions. It is envisaged that a joint publication could arise from the interdisciplinary consensus statement on resilience in young people, based on the literature and the diversity of the research team.

Educational qualifications: 2002 University of Auckland, PhD, Health Psychology 1991 University of Auckland, MA, Psychology 1988 University of Auckland, BA, Psychology and Art History My main research and teaching interests are the early development of infants at risk from prenatal drug exposure and infant mental health. For the past 10 years I have been involved in research that explores the development of infants and young children born to women who have used psychoactive drugs during their pregnancy. During this time I completed the first and to date the only systematic study in New Zealand on the effect of maternal methadone maintenance treatment on the physiological and psychological development of the fetus, the neonate and the infant. This research has been extended to include two collaborative research projects: The first is a collaborative study with Associate Professor Lianne Woodward at Canterbury University and Dr Carl Kuschel, Clinical Director of National Women's Health. This study is currently investigating the neurological outcomes of infants exposed antenatally to methadone using MRI. The second is collaborative research project with Professor Barry Lester and Dr Lyn LaGasse at the Brown Center for the Study of Children at Risk at Brown University. This study is a five-site, multi-disciplinary study that is currently investigating the developmental outcomes of infants and young children who were exposed antenatally to methamphetamine (P, Pure, Ecstasy, BZP). Through this research I have come to understand the challenges for families where the mothers and often the fathers are both dependent on drugs. Their lives are often full of chaos due to the illicit nature of the drugs they are using, and the psychological problems of depression and anxiety that often go along with their addictions. Therefore, I am currently interested in the design and implementation of early interventions to address the many risk factors faced by these high-risk infants and their families.

SHORT CV
BA (Hons) MA PHD PGCE FHEA
Pamela’s research expertise is in the sociology of health, illness applied to issues of social justice, care, emotion and ethics. Pamela's early research interests related to social and political transitions in eastern Germany in the wake of unification. The focus was on understanding how disrupted life biographies were reconfigured in ways that provided new meaningful orientations. Pamela's subsequent research has continued to address identities in transition, social justice and citizenship but she has applied these areas primarily in the sociology of health and illness. She is particularly interested in how health and wellbeing intersect with issues of power and resilience, and with emerging values and ethics. Recently, Pamela has been developing debates in the sociology of emotion, investigating how emotion intersects with values and practice in both formal and informal care environments. Pamela's methodological expertise is in qualitative approaches that are theoretically informed and applied to 'real life' contexts. She has a particular interest in narrative.

COLLINS O. AIRHIHENBUWA Department of Biobehavioral Health The Pennsylvania State University Tel: 814-865-1382 Email: [email protected] Some faculty members are known for their charismatic personalities, and others are known for their innovative research methods. Dr. Collins Airhihenbuwa is known as both. Not only is he a professor and head of the Department of Biobehavioral Health in Penn State’s College of Health and Human Development, but through his research, he demonstrates his concerns regarding global health issues. Since the early 1990s, Collins has focused on addressing the health disparities and promoting cultural equity in health in several African countries, including South Africa. In effort to further examine these issues, he also developed the PEN-3 research model, which examines the domains of relationships and expectations, cultural empowerment and cultural identity. He believes "conventional research models in our field are mostly deficit models and they focus on the negative and do not take into account that people’s lives are bigger and more complex than the problem being studied." Through his research and his positive approach to life, Collins is true collaborator who focuses on the human side first, empathizing with those who need his emotional support. A colleague notes that he shows, “leadership and humility in the projects he takes on and in the classroom.” Since joining Penn State’s team over two decades ago, Collins continues to touch the lives of many individuals.
