This systematic review assesses six years (2009-2016) of evidence concerning psychosocial and mental health interventions for conflict-affected children. Overall, the analysis finds development in the number of publications and level of evidence. Still, the broader implications highlight problems in intervention designs and reported results, with points of improvement including a need for diversification in research focus.
