Researchers at UCLA Health have been awarded $3 million from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop a statewide stress surveillance system and establish a network of physicians and scientists to study how stress impacts the body and what can be done to increase resiliency.
“Stress is among the leading causes of disability and death in California, especially if experienced early on in life,” said George Slavich, PhD, lead principal investigator and Founding Director of the Laboratory for Stress Assessment and Research at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Behavior at UCLA. “This project combines the best of stress science and precision medicine to address the health impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences.”
