Last year, the PTG lab conducted the High School Intervention project, which assessed posttraumatic growth in high school students from both the U.S. and Japan.
The members went to local high schools to conduct pre and post surveys, along with presentations discussing PTG, PTSD and cross-cultural differences. This year, the lab is hard at work re-vamping this study by adjusting the survey content and preparing new intervention programs. Once the study is approved by the IRB, lab members will begin administering the surveys this coming summer and continue into Fall of next year.
