Traumatic Experiences and PTSD Among Adolescent Congolese Refugees in Uganda
The study examined experienced traumatic events and the related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) amongst a sample of 89 adolescent Congolese refugees (56 females and 33 males) at a refugee camp in Uganda.

Findings indicate a prevalence of PTSD of 49.4% overall, with 75% of the female refugees meeting the PTSD cri…
Values disparity and academic achievement among Ugandan adolescents
A century ago, Christian missionaries founded Uganda’s earliest schools. Many of these schools continue to espouse values inculcation as a stated goal. In this study of 502 Ugandan children completing primary school (P7), students’ personal values and their perception of their school’s values were measured using adaptations of the Rokeach Values Survey (RVS).
