As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues, reports of increased trauma amongst Palestinian children have multiplied. In order to provide a better understanding of the psychosocial well being of Palestinian children, the following assessment was undertaken by Save the Children-US and the Secretariat of the National Plan of Action for Palestinian Children (NPA), a Palestinian NGO, in collaboration with Save the Children-Sweden. Funding was provided by the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID ). The study was designed primarily to gain insight into how the children themselves view their situation, and to provide them with an open forum in which to speak.

During the months of July and August 2002, a representative, stratefied, random sample was chosen from cities, villages and refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza. Sixty-one percent (61%) of those interviewed live in the West Bank and 39% live in Gaza. Girls and boys were represented in equal proportion.
