Our research
The Trauma & Global Health Program’s Peruvian team is focusing on four priority research areas:
- Development of screening protocols (clinical and epidemiological) for trauma-related disorders, alcohol abuse and dependency, and violence against women
- Development and evaluation of community-based interventions for adults (men and women) and children among Quechua-speaking populations exposed to organised violence
- Gender-specific strategies for healing and coping with mental illness
- Mental health assessment of rural/urban populations exposed to organised violence and/or natural disasters
