A scoping review of mental health problems and associated psychological factors pertinent to young people in education in low-and middle-income countries
Overview
This scoping review examines how adolescent mental health is assessed and which psychological factors are associated with it among students aged 4–22 in low- and middle-income countries. It analyzes 36 studies to identify common outcomes like depression and anxiety, alongside factors such as self-esteem and resilience. The resource highlights variability in assessment methods and suggests a need for consistent, context-sensitive approaches for researchers and clinicians working in these settings.
