2023.06-2026.05 [한국연구재단] 청년층 정신건강과 자살위기의 원인과 회복가능성: 생애과정, 젠더관점에서의 지역지표구축 및 지역-미시 연계분석
이 연구는 2018년을 기점으로 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 2-30대 청년층의 자살률이 현재 한국의 청년이 처한 생애과정과 정신건강의 위기를 반영하는 현상이라 보고 청년층 정신건강과 자살위기에 초점을 맞춘 분석적 연구가 필요하다는 판단 하에 기획되었다. 청년이 처한 사회적 환경으로서 지역의 특성과 그 영향을 탐색하고 이것이 청년의 사회적 조건 및 생애경험과 어떻게 상호작용하여 위기의 원인이 되는지, 더 나아가 회복을 가능케 하는 맥락은 무엇인지 탐구한다.
