Getting Started: An Insider’s View of an International Longitudinal Study

Author E. Mark Cummings describes how this study was launched and details the vital role played by colleagues in Northern Ireland.

The study was published in the November 2020 issue of the Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development titled, Youth in Northern Ireland: Linking Violence Exposure, Emotional Insecurity, and the Political Macrosystem.
