title: [Effect of war trauma on the female population of Bosnia-Herzegovina: demographic characteristics].
abstract: The vast majority of research relates to war trauma have been performed on male veterans and refugees. There are very few related to female civilians, particularly in country of conflict origin. The objective of this paper was to present descriptive characteristics of demographic parameters within three BiH female cohorts according to their migration characteristics: displaced, domestic and refugees. Total of 150 women were analysed. The sample was randomly selected within prospective cohort study. For each cohort age, education, religion, marital status and number of children were analysed. Our overall distribution results were fairly equal to other demographic changes in entire BiH related to migration and ethnic cleansing as the war consequence.
