Mental disorders are the largest cause of the burden of disease in the world. Most of the burden affecting adult life has its onset during childhood and adolescence. The European Pact for Mental Health and Wellbeing calls for immediate action and investments in the mental health of children and adolescents. Schools may be the ideal location for promoting health and delivering healthcare services, since schools are a location where young people usually spend their daytime and socialize, schools are easily accessible to families, can provide non-stigmatizing health actions, and form links with the community. Aims and Goals of this Special Issue: This issue is developed within the framework of the Joint Action on Mental Health promoted by the European Commission. This special issue presents a set of systematic reviews on the evidence of the international literature on school interventions for the promotion of the mental health and wellbeing of children and adolescents. It is focused on five topical main areas: promoting general health and wellbeing; programs targeting specific mental disorders and conditions and integration of adolescents with mental health problems; Bullying; Sport; Alcohol and Drugs. An additional paper on the results of the largest epidemiological study conducted in some European countries on the prevalence and relative risk factors of mental disorders in school-age completes the issue.
These reviews are a first contribution to address future European research and interventions, in particular about the multiple ways through which European policies could support the schooling and wellbeing of children and adolescents.
精神障碍是全球疾病负担的最大成因。影响成年人生活的大部分负担始于童年和青少年时期。《欧洲精神健康与幸福公约》呼吁立即采取行动并对儿童和青少年的精神健康进行投资。学校可能是促进健康和提供医疗服务的理想场所，因为学校是年轻人通常白天度过时光并进行社交的地方，家庭可以轻松到达学校，学校能够提供无歧视的健康行动，并与社区建立联系。本期特刊的目标和宗旨：本期特刊是在欧盟委员会推动的精神健康联合行动框架内编制的。本期特刊展示了一系列关于国际文献中学校干预措施促进儿童和青少年精神健康与幸福的证据的系统评价。它聚焦于五个主题主要领域：促进总体健康和幸福；针对特定精神障碍和状况的项目以及对有精神健康问题的青少年的融合；欺凌；体育；酒精和毒品。一篇关于在一些欧洲国家进行的关于学龄儿童精神障碍患病率和相关风险因素的最大规模流行病学研究结果的额外论文完善了本期内容。
这些综述是对未来欧洲研究和干预措施的首次贡献，特别是关于欧洲政策可以支持儿童和青少年上学及幸福的多种方式。
