Enhancing Positive Outcomes in Youth and the Community (EPYC)

Enhancing Positive outcomes in Youth and the Community (EPYC)

Overview

The EPYC study is a 10-wave longitudinal study of three cohorts of youth offenders and their families in Singapore. The study hopes to examine risk and protective factors, the developmental trajectories of various youth offenders, as well as the processes involved in the successful reintegration of these youth into our society. In particular, we recognise that the families and the immediate community play important roles in such rehabilitation and reintegration efforts, hence these will also be a focus in the study.
