Guatemalan Aid Worker Support Project

Faculty Investigators: Dr. Katharine M. Putman, Dr. David Foy 

Project Summary: This project assesses risk for direct and indirect trauma exposure and adverse outcomes among Guatemalan aid workers, specifically, community violence exposure, exposure to traumatic loss, complicated grief symptoms, posttraumatic stress symptoms, burnout, and private religious practices conducted through a survey of 135 aid workers and focus groups of several Guatemalan non-governmental organizations. Focus groups also explore culturally specific religious coping among these participants.
