| Abstract | Key implications for practice Group Trauma Focused^Cognitive BehaviouralTherapy is e¡ective for reducingsymptomsofposttraumatic stress syndrome, anxiety, depression and improving prosocial behaviour among clinical cohorts of con£ict a¡ected youths Evidence for non clinical cohort of con£ict a¡ected youths is limited Further robust trials are required to strengthen the evidence base for interventions aimed at the population, particularly for non clinical cohorts of con£ict a¡ected youths Youths exposed to armed con£ict have a higher prevalence of mental health and psychosocial di⁄culties. Diverse interventions exist that aim to ameliorate the e¡ectofarmedcon£ictonthepsychologicalandpsychosocial wellbeing of con£ict a¡ected youths. However, the evidencebasefor the e¡ectivenessof these interventions is limited. Using standard review methodology, this reviewaims to address the e¡ectiveness ofpsychologicalinterventionsemployedamongthispopulation. The search was performed across four databases and grey literature. Article quality was assessed using the Downs and Black Quality Checklist (1998).Where possible, studies were subjected tometa-analyses.The remaining studies were included in a narrative synthesis. Eight studies concerned non clinical populations, while nine concerned clinical populations. Review ¢ndings conclude that Group Trauma Focused^Cognitive BehaviouralTherapy is e¡ective forreducingsymptomsofposttraumaticstressdisorder, anxiety,depressionandimprovingprosocialbehaviour among clinical cohorts.The evidence does not suggest that interventionsaimedatnon clinicalgroupswithin this population are e¡ective.Despite highqualitystudies, further robust trials are required to strengthen the evidence base, as a lack of replication has resulted in a limited evidencebase to informpractice. |
