Mental Health of Residents of Ukraine Exposed to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Quantifying the association between the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and Ukrainians' mental health is crucial for guiding reconstruction and rebuilding efforts in the postwar period.

Objective

To examine the association between war exposure and civilians' mental health in both the short and medium term and the potential channels through which these associations occur.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used data from 7 nationally representative surveys conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology between December 4, 2015, and July 18, 2022. Six surveys were conducted before the war and one during the ongoing conflict in July 2022. Each survey included approximately 2000 respondents aged 18 to 95 years in 110 localities.
