Research is a key element in prevention and in ensuring that survivors of torture have access to appropriate and effective rehabilitation, but it is often neglected as more pressing issues frequently come first.
A modified Delphi study with three rounds of consultation was used to reach a consensus of expert panellists with respect to top research priorities in the interdisciplinary field of torture rehabilitation and prevention. Panellists included professionals (medical, psychologists and psychiatrists, lawyers, social workers and members of organizations of survivors) from 23 countries balanced by gender, geographical area, profession and area of work (country of asylum versus where torture is perpetrated). Aims were to stimulate an interdisciplinary debate, foster research and inform the future publishing priorities of the Torture Journal (the publication which led the study).
