Resilient Responses to Macro Stressors in Sub-Saharan African Populations: Evidence from the ResiMETA Database

ResiMETA is an open-access, continuously updated database for trajectory-based resilience research summarizing over 300 studies on mental health responses to stress and the predictive value of psychosocial resilience factors. It is conducted by the Leibniz Institute for Resilience Research in Mainz, Germany.

Meta-Analyses based on the ResiMETA database.

The current project aims to conduct the first systematic review summarizing knowledge on resilient responses as well as on resilience factors that shape those responses to stress among populations in SSA. Given the global relevance of resilience research, there is a critical need to examine the applicability of key findings in African populations, and to study specific nuances in African contexts.
