The research focused on the needs of victims and survivors of the Troubles in the EHSSB area. The research aimed to identify perceptions of need and services available to equip the EHSSB and the Trauma Advisory Panel to plan for service development and lobby for funding to develop services.

The statistics revealed that on average between 1995 and 2002 the EHSSB area experienced 42% of all deaths, 59% of all shootings, 44% of all bombings, 62% of all Loyalist punishment shootings, 80% of all Republican punishment shootings, 55% of all Loyalist punishment assaults, 57% of all Republican punishment assaults, and 58% of all injuries.
