About MAP

Study overview

The ongoing war in Ukraine has severely affected the safety, health and well-being of many people. With the “MAP Studies”, we want to better understand the mental stress experienced by the Ukrainian population as a result of the war. The results of this project will help politicians and international organizations to better support and care for the Ukrainian population.

We will include three groups of people

Ukraine, 10 oblasts

  • People currently living in Ukraine in 10 oblasts with varying proximity to war included

Switzerland, The Canton of Zurich

  • Ukrainian refugees with protection status S currently living in the canton of Zurich
  • People from the general population of the Canton of Zurich who were not affected by the war (so-called control group)

This is how the procedure looks like for a person participating in our study
