Introduction: Exposure to war-related and daily stressors may lead to various
psychological problems among war-affected youth. Consequently interest in recovery
and reintegration of such youth is increasing with particular attention being paid to
reconciliation as an important part of this process. However many studies about
reconciliation attitudes of war-affected populations – many of which related to PTSD
– reported rather negative attitudes towards reconciliation. The current study will
examine reconciliation attitudes of war-affected adolescents in northern Uganda, in
association with a range of mental health problems, particularly symptoms of
posttraumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and aggressive and rule-breaking
behaviors.
Methods: Four hundred forty five adolescent will complete measures on exposure to
stressful war experiences, daily stressors, posttraumatic stress symptoms,
internalizing and externalizing problems, and attitudes towards reconciliation.
Associations between these variables with reconciliation attitudes will be explored
using hierarchical linear regression models.
