Our faculty member Helal Uddin, Lecturer, Department of Sociology, East West University, published a research paper on child flourishing and school engagement in Sociological Spectrum Journal. Using secondary analysis of the National Survey of Children’s Health 2016–2018, the study examined the associations of family resilience and other protective factors with flourishing and school engagement among subgroups of children with dual exposure to DD and ACE. 

Results indicate that family resilience, family meals, and mother’s mental health promote flourishing and school engagement amid varying levels of exposure to ACE and DD. The study suggests social interventions designed to improve family and neighborhood resources can protect child well-being amid multiple adversities.
