Abstracts
This paper reviews organized assistance provided for the population in post-war communities in the form of psychosocial interventions. The interventions are considered within the framework of the biopsychosocial model used in understanding the mental health of traumatized persons. The aim of the study was to determine whether differences exist in the type and amount of psychosocial interventions among participants from different sociodemographic backgrounds. The Matrix for Recording Health Care and Social Interventions (MACSI), which was constructed for an international research project (Connect project, Priebe et. al., 2004) was used to register the number and type of intervention. The obtained results revealed differences in the type and amount of psychosocial interventions in different sociodemographic groups.
