At a societal level the research provided evidence that identified the following key findings:
• The majority of people who experienced traumatic events and violence are not adversely affected in the long term;
• However a group of people have developed problems including mental disorders which have impacted on their functioning at family and community levels. The most recent figures estimate that this group represents around 14% of the adult population;
• Alcohol and other drugs are commonly used among those adversely affected by the Troubles;
• Economic deprivation constitutes an additional stressor which in turn impacts negatively on mental and general health; and
• The political and social divisions in Northern Ireland impact upon social integration and are associated with sectarianism and increasingly racism, homophobia and “hate crime”.
