A study from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden has shown that psychosocial programs for children in war-torn Sri Lanka have shown beneficial results, reports Colombo Page on April 8. Kumari Thoradeniya, a researcher at the University of Gothenburg for her thesis study, has compared three different psychosocial rehabilitation programs for war-affected children in war-torn Sri Lanka. Field studies for the thesis were undertaken in 2005, in which Kumari used interviews, questionnaires and observations to gather data. The programs were also compared with a group of children who had not been subject to any rehabilitation at all. "The impact levels of each of the programs were different because of their differences in objectives, approaches and methodologies, as well as varying levels of human and material resources. However, when comparing the rehabilitated children with those who had not gone through any rehabilitation, there was a remarkable difference. The rehabilitated children showed a much higher possibility of becoming normal citizens compared to those who had not undergone any rehabilitation," explains Kumari.
