In 2011, the IRCKHF and the Rehabilitation and Research Center for Torture Victims in Denmark (RCT), currently known as Dignity, undertook a qualitative and quantitative study on patterns of violence in Greater Amman and Zarqa. Through a series of focus groups and in-depth interviews, the qualitative study aimed to explore forms and perceptions of violence as they exist in Jordan with the objective of constructing a scientifically and culturally valid research tool with which to conduct a quantitative survey of violence in Greater Amman and Zarqa. The objectives of the project were to provide knowledge about violence, patterns of violence, and the impact of violence to the Institute for Family Health-Noor Hussein Foundation (IFH), RCT, and other stakeholders, in order to assess the needs for trauma treatment and support and guide the future work of IFH and RCT, and to suggest interventions to prevent violence.
