The Pave Project Report - Queen's University Belfast

The PAVE Project Report 25
The groups’ membership ranged from 20 to 2,000. Some of the larger groups worked
with other populations in addition to those affected by the conflict, for example, with
people affected by other bereavement or other kinds of violence (n=10), however,
most of the groups worked with people affected by the Troubles only (n=16). Some
groups worked with specific populations, for example, members of a particular
organisation (n=2), victims/survivors from a particular geographical area (n=2), or
people affected because of a particular incident (n=1). The vast majority of the groups
were established in 1995 onwards (n=19), many of them in 1998/1999 (n=11). The
majority of the groups were single identity, while some others were cross-community
groups.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
T
he Community Services Questionnaire (CSQ) (Appendix 1) was designed
specifically for the first phase of this study. The first part of the questionnaire
requested general information about the groups, such as name, year they were
founded, etc.
The second part requested information about the number, demographics, and needs of
service users, and how they had been affected by the Troubles, and referral source.
Questions in the first and second parts were similar to those posed by Coll (2006),
