Yup'ik Experiences of Stress and Coping
Yup’ik communities have voiced concern about the prevalence of stress and its effects on health. This project developed a way of assessing stress in a Yup’ik cultural context and, more importantly, how Yup’ik people find healthy ways of coping with stress.
The goal of the project was to better understand stress and coping in Yup’ik communities to inform culturally grounded stress-reduction interventions.
