Brief Summary:
More than 300000 children are fighting in armed conflicts all over the world In Uganda an estimated number of 25000 children have been abducted and forced to fight or work as porters and sex slaves on the side of the rebels during the conflict between the Lords Resistance Army LRA and the Ugandan government Each year thousands of former child soldiers have returned to their communities after they had fled or were freed from the rebels It is well known that a high percentage of these youths are suffering from mental health problems This could be one of the possible reasons why they are facing difficulties to reintegrate into their communities
The main aim of the proposed project is two-fold On the one hand the investigators want to systematically explore the relationship between mental health and important variables for reintegration into the communities like aggression hostility feelings of revenge compromises and conflict behaviour and readiness for reconciliation in formerly abducted and other vulnerable youth orphans child mothers and handicapped youths in Northern Uganda On the other hand the investigators want to probe the efficacy of existing and newly developed interventions for formerly abducted and other vulnerable youths that are supposed to foster their mental well-being as well as their reintegration into the society and therewith are part of the long-term prevention of new conflicts in Northern Uganda
