Education profoundly affects adult socioeconomic status, so it is important to ensure that all children have the capability and opportunity to achieve educational goals.
The study aimed to examine the relationship between mental-health during adolescence and upper secondary school completion and grades, which has received comparatively little research attention to date.
Longitudinal administrative and registered data were used to analyse the relationship between school achievement and prescriptions of psycholeptic and psycho-analeptic drugs. The sample consisted of all children born in Sweden in 1990 (n = 109 223), who were followed from birth to age 20. Logistic and OLS regressions were performed separately for boys and girls, controlling for birth health and family characteristics.
A negative relationship between mental-health problems and educational outcomes was found; this result was almost independent of the controls. Only minor differences between the sexes were detected.
Poor mental-health during childhood correlated negatively with educational attainment. Given the strong link between educational success and adult life, more resources are needed to support children with mental-health problems.
教育对成年人的社会经济地位有深远影响，因此确保所有儿童都有能力和机会实现教育目标非常重要。
本研究旨在探讨青少年心理健康与完成高中和获得高中成绩之间的关系，这一关系迄今得到的研究关注相对较少。
使用纵向行政和登记数据来分析学校成绩与精神类药物和精神兴奋类药物处方之间的关系。该样本包括 1990 年在瑞典出生的所有儿童（n=109223），他们从出生到 20 岁都被跟踪调查。对男孩和女孩分别进行逻辑回归和 OLS 回归，控制出生时的健康状况和家庭特征。
研究发现心理健康问题与教育成果呈负相关；这一结果几乎独立于对照组。仅检测到性别之间的微小差异。
儿童时期的心理健康状况不佳与教育程度呈负相关。鉴于教育成功与成年生活之间的紧密联系，需要更多资源来支持有心理健康问题的儿童。
