The mental, reproductive, and physical health impacts of female children's association with armed forces and groups.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings of this review, female CAAFAG are at a unique risk for internalizing, functional impairment, and reduced adaptive behaviors. This review also highlights girls' post-conflict experiences of stigma, internal tensions, and returning with a child as modifiable risk factors for poor mental health.
