Abstract
How do civilians in close proximity to armed conflict cope with the trauma of sustained, impending danger? While there is a large body of literature focused on the negative effects of war, research is much less abundant when it comes to the evidence-based practices (EBP’s) that will help heal these populations. A meta-analysis of the existing literature will elucidate various themes, such as which EBP's are most common and/or effective. This presentation will provide future researchers with a roadmap for clinical approaches that warrant further attention and consideration with this unique population.
