Objective: This study compared clinician contact with clients' caregivers by service setting, specifically schools, which are the most common service setting for youths.
Methods: Data were from a state-funded cognitive-behavioral therapy training initiative. Clinicians (N=177) completed pretraining and postconsultation surveys including retrospective reports of caregiver contact and amount of school-based practice.
Results: School-based clinicians were less likely than non-school-based clinicians to report any contact with caregivers. Full-time school-based clinicians were less likely than part-time school-based clinicians to report any contact with caregivers. School-based clinicians also were less likely than clinicians in other settings to have in-person contact with caregivers, and full-time school-based clinicians were less likely than part-time school-based clinicians to report in-person contact with caregivers.
Conclusions: Given the inherent advantages of school-based treatment, integration of mental health services for youths in schools is increasingly supported by funding and policy. The findings of this study suggest, however, that investing in strategies to engage caregivers in such treatment may be worthwhile.

Supporting Transition Resilience Among Newcomer Groups (STRONG): Examining effectiveness and acceptability in urban public schools.
Am J Community Psychol

Loyola University Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The Supporting Transition Resilience Of Newcomer Groups (STRONG; Hoover et al., 2019) program was developed to support mental health among newcomer refugee and immigrant students by (1) promoting positive adjustment during resettlement through a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, contextualized to meet the needs of refugee and immigrant youth; and (2) improving access to services through school-based programming. The purpose of this study was to examine the acceptability and effectiveness of STRONG on the mental health and resilience of refugee and immigrant students using a group randomized waitlist control design.

Unlabelled: Many adolescents must overcome a broad range of barriers to access health information and care and are consequently reluctant to pursue assistance for their health concerns. In this review, we examine from whom and how adolescents seek help (for example, by consulting with friends and family members and by searching for health information using online platforms) and how adolescents treat symptoms without consulting with a clinician by engaging in self-medication. Next, we suggest ways to help adolescents receive accurate health information and access to healthcare through school-based health education programs and health centers.

- Around 25% of participants reported experiencing cybervictimization in the past month, while 17.5% faced sextortion, showing high rates of online harm.
- Many adolescents seek support from friends rather than mental health professionals for online issues, highlighting the need for improved screening and intervention strategies in this population.
Co-producing school-based mental health interventions with young people, teachers, and schools: a case study.
Res Involv Engagem
October 2024
Division of Psychiatry, University College London, London, UK.
Background: Schools are a prime setting for the delivery of universal and targeted mental health interventions. Current school-based mental health interventions may not be developed to fully meet student mental health needs and co-production is needed to understand what young people really want. Despite this, research on school-based mental health interventions does not consistently engage in co-production, involving stakeholders, such as young people and schools, in the decision-making, development, evaluation and/or implementation stages.

Article Synopsis
- Rapid urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa is linked to a rise in asthma cases among children and teens, particularly due to challenges in obtaining clinical diagnoses for those exhibiting symptoms.* -
- A two-phase study was conducted across multiple countries involving adolescents aged 12-14, where asthma symptoms were assessed through a questionnaire, and further evaluations were carried out on those with symptoms, including tests for lung function and environmental risk factors.* -
- The study aimed to gather data on the prevalence and severity of asthma in symptomatic adolescents, alongside objective testing methods like spirometry and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) to better understand asthma's impact on daily life.*
