Article Abstract
Background: Depression is a common mental health disorder that often starts during adolescence, with potentially important future consequences including 'Not in Education, Employment or Training' (NEET) status.
Methods: We took a structured life course modeling approach to examine how depressive symptoms during adolescence might be associated with later NEET status, using a high-quality longitudinal data resource. We considered four plausible life course models: (1) an where depressive symptoms in early adolescence are more associated with later NEET status relative to exposure at other stages; (2) a where depressive symptoms during the transition from compulsory education to adult life might be more deleterious regarding NEET status; (3) a , meaning that depressive symptoms around the time when most adults have completed their education and started their careers are the most strongly associated with NEET status; and (4) an which highlights the importance of chronicity of symptoms.
Results: Our analysis sample included participants with full information on NEET status ( = 3951), and the results supported the , showing that the odds of NEET increase by 1.015 (95% CI 1.012-1.019) for an increase of 1 unit in depression at any age between 11 and 24 years.
Conclusions: Given the adverse implications of NEET status, our results emphasize the importance of supporting mental health during adolescence and early adulthood, as well as considering specific needs of young people with re-occurring depressed mood.

Introduction: Youth aged 15-29 who are not engaged in education, employment, or training (NEET) represent a critical concern within the European Union (EU).
Aim: This review aims to ascertain whether existing studies address the impact of living in either rural or urban settings, or in specific types of neighborhoods, on the likelihood of young European individuals falling into NEET status.
Methods: On February 21, 2023, and subsequently updated on January 15, 2024, a thorough literature search was carried out across four major databases to compile relevant studies.

Purpose: Youth who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) are at risk for numerous long-term occupational, social, and mental health-related sequelae. The aim of the present study was to investigate mediated pathways from early life risk factors to NEET status in early adulthood, with a particular focus on the role of the family environment during adolescence.
Methods: Participants were 6,403 respondents from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, who were aged 10-11 years in cycles 1 (1994-1995) to 4 (2000-2001).

Background: Psychiatric disorders often emerge during adolescence or young adulthood, leading to significant disability among youth. The transition from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) is critical for individuals experiencing emerging psychopathology, with delayed access to care negatively impacting long-term outcomes. Accessing mental health services for adolescents and young adults is often complex and delayed due to challenges in service visibility, accessibility and appropriateness.

More than one-in-eight young adults in the US between the ages of 16 to 24 were not in employment, education, or training (NEET) in 2020 - a level not seen since the Great Recession. This study examines the long-term association between NEET status in emerging adulthood and later depressive symptoms using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1995-2018). Growth curve models chart the association between NEET status and depressive symptoms over time in the US.

Article Synopsis
- High rates of NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) are found in individuals experiencing their first episode of psychosis (FEP), which can be influenced by both sociodemographic and clinical factors.
- The study used statistical analyses on 440 FEP patients to explore how sociodemographic variables (like socioeconomic status) and clinical variables (like negative symptom severity) interactively affect NEET status.
- Results showed that both negative symptom severity and socioeconomic status independently contribute to NEET status, and their intersection highlights the complexity of these patients' functional outcomes, underscoring the need for tailored support that addresses both mental health and vocational resources.
