This guide is in no sense intended to provide a comprehensive picture of the impact of armed conflict on children and adolescents. Rather, it seeks to offer a brief overview of some key issues in the field and provoke thoughts about possible areas of research. It also indicates some of the ongoing debates and concerns around specific issues and directs the reader to relevant literature. Several of the issues discussed have scarcely been written about, except within advocacy-oriented documents, whilst others, most notably the mental health of children, have been the subject of extensive investigation. The guide is very much open to revision and all suggestions of further literature or websites will be gratefully received and incorporated.
