Our Research Question
What common and individual factors most influence successful adjustment during the first 90 days after moving to a new country and environment?
How can we measure whether someone is adapting successfully, and identify where practical support would be most useful?

Our Research
Our initial research will investigate which personal, social, cultural and environmental factors influence successful adjustment during the first 90 days after moving to a new country.
We aim to identify practical ways to measure adjustment, understand individual needs and determine where support could be most useful.
The findings could help shape and evaluate Sharmina 90, our proposed international adjustment support programme.
Our approach
Our proposed research will explore five key questions:
What challenges do people face during their first 90 days in a new country?
Why do some people adjust more successfully than others?
Which personal, social and environmental factors matter most?
How can we measure whether someone is adjusting successfully?
What practical support could help, and how might we evaluate its effectiveness?
Our aim is to build an evidence-informed foundation for Sharmina 90, our proposed international adjustment support programme.
Signs of Progress
We want to identify simple, practical ways of understanding how successfully someone is adjusting during their first 90 days in a new country.
These could include wellbeing, daily routines, social connections, sleep and people's own experiences.
Our research will explore which indicators are genuinely useful and how they could help identify individuals who may benefit from additional support.
Discuss Research
Together, we hope to explore research opportunities, develop useful ways to measure adjustment and investigate practical support during the first 90 days.
