  abstract: ABSTRACT: Background: Little is known about the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for children in areas of armed conflict, especially in non-Western countries. One of such interventions is the Classroom-Based psychosocial Intervention (CBI®), a 15-session expressive behavioral intervention that aims to reduce potentially harmful traumatic stress symptoms and increase children's capacity to solve problems, maintain prosocial attitudes and sustain self-esteem as well as hope for the future. This intervention has been implemented, by and through Save the Children US, in Nepal since 2002. Evaluations and subsequent adaptations to the intervention and implementation of the intervention have been made. Anecdotal information from children, teacher, parents and community members has been very positive about CBI. However, a structural scientific (evidence based) evaluation has not been conducted yet. This research looked into the impact of CBI for children affected by the armed conflict in Nepal. Research Methods: Through a randomized controlled trial we have compared pre-, and postintervention levels of symptoms and functioning of 161 children that received CBI (treatment group) with 164 children that did not receive CBI (control group). Children were between 11-14 years old. The research was conducted in 4 mid-Western Terai districts in Nepal. Groups were compared on mental health indicators (depression-, anxiety-, and post-traumatic stress symptoms), general psychosocial wellbeing indicators (emotional problems, peer problems, hyperactivity and conduct problems), resilience indicators (prosocial behavior and hope) and daily functioning. Almost all children completed the research (2 children did not complete post test measurement). Research Findings: Research shows that baseline levels of psychosocial problems and impairment in daily functioning are elevated. On most of the psychosocial well-being indicators the total study group (n=325) has high mean score, indi…
