The PAVE Project Report
Narrative work
At baseline assessment, 32% of the participants (n=24) availed of narrative work. In
A2, 48% of the participants (n=12) used this service, while at A3, none of the
participants availed of narrative work, and at A4, 3 respondents used it.
Figures 101-103 show GHQ-30, BDI-II, and PDS mean scores for participants who
used narrative work during the 3 months prior to each assessment and for those who
did not use this service. There were statistically significant improvements with regard
to general psychological health between A1 and A2 for those who availed of narrative
work (paired-samples t-test), however, there also were significant improvements
between A1 and A4 for those who did not used narrative work. Four bars at each
assessment point represent data as previously in Figure 77.
