Mental Health of Residents of Ukraine Exposed to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
In this survey study of war exposure, bombing was associated with increased mental health concerns among civilians, including a higher likelihood of suicidal thoughts and feelings of helplessness, which may hinder postwar recovery. These findings suggest that policymakers should prioritize creating job opportunities and ensuring a safe living environment to support citizens' recovery in the aftermath of conflict.
