在过去的二十年中，该领域见证了我们对恐怖主义及其对受影响青年的影响的理解取得了巨大进步。现在已经确定的是，在恐怖袭击发生后的几个月内，相当一部分暴露的青少年表现出严重的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状。近年来，研究范围已超出了证实我们对直接恐怖主义暴露与儿童 PTSD 症状之间关联的理解，通过阐明 (a) 恐怖主义暴露与非 PTSD 临床结果（例如，外化问题、药物使用）之间的联系，(b) 与风险和复原力不同模式相关的个体差异，(c) 基于媒体的接触恐怖主义的临床相关性，(d) 与经常性恐怖袭击相关的临床结果，以及 (e) 暴露于广泛的环境中不确定性和未来恐怖主义的可能性。研究恐怖主为了了解并最好地满足全球大多数受恐怖主义影响的青少年的临床需求，需要在世界发展中地区和经常遭受恐怖袭击的地区对暴露的青少年进行更有针对性的研究。
Over the past two decades, the field has witnessed tremendous advances in our understanding of terrorism and its impacts on affected youth. It is now well established that a significant proportion of exposed youth show elevated PTSD symptoms in the months following a terrorist attack. In more recent years, research has expanded beyond confirming our understanding of the association between direct terrorism exposure and child PTSD symptoms by elucidating (a) links between terrorism exposure and non-PTSD clinical outcomes (e.g., externalizing problems, substance use), (b) individual differences associated with divergent patterns of risk and resilience, (c) the clinical correlates of media-based contact with terrorism, (d) clinical outcomes associated with exposure to recurrent terrorist attacks, and (e) exposure to extended contexts of uncertainty and the possibilities of future terrorism. Researchers studying the effects of terrorism and political violence on youth have increasingly examined a much broader range of regions in the world, affording needed opportunities to consider the generalizability of prior findings to youth living in different political contexts, in less developed regions of the world, and/or in regions with different rates of recurrent terrorism. In order to understand and, in turn, best meet the clinical needs of the majority of terrorism-affected youth across the globe, more targeted research on exposed youth is needed in developing regions of the world and regions enduring more recurrent terrorist attacks.
