This Lab focuses on studying the factors that influence adjustment and maladjustment throughout human development and their impact on health from childhood to old age. It also aims to understand health literacy across various groups and identify strategies to promote health and well-being at different life stages for individuals and families. This is achieved through cross-sectional and longitudinal research on mental health, healthy development and healthy aging, in collaboration with healthcare professionals, educators, health and education organizations, other stakeholders and policy makers, and by establishing national and international networks.
