School connectedness is an important factor in the lives of youth and are a leverage point for optimizing youth's social, emotional, and physical health. This study presents a meta-analysis examining the relationship between school connectedness and four health domains that are prevalent in adolescence, have implications for adult health, and often co-occur: mental health, sexual health, violence, and high-risk substance use. Ninety articles published between 2009 and 2019 were included in the analysis. The study found that school connectedness had a protective average effect size across all health domains (Hedges' = -0.345, -value<0.001). When examined separately, school connectedness had a significant protective relationship with substance use ( = -0.379, < 0.001), mental health (Hedges' = -0.358, < 0.001), violence (Hedges' = -0.318, < 0.001), sexual health (Hedges' = -0.145, < 0.001), and with co-occurring risks (Hedges' = -0.331, < 0.001). These results provide strong evidence that school connectedness has the potential to prevent and mitigate multiple health risks during adolescence.
学校归属感是青少年生活中的一个重要因素，也是优化青少年社会、情感和身体健康的一个杠杆点。本研究进行了一项荟萃分析，考察了学校归属感与青少年时期普遍存在、对成年健康有影响且经常同时发生的四个健康领域之间的关系：心理健康、性健康、暴力和高危物质使用。共有 90 篇发表于 2009 年至 2019 年的文章纳入了分析。研究发现，学校归属感对所有健康领域都具有保护平均效应量（Hedges'= -0.345，p<0.001）。当分别进行检查时，学校归属感与物质使用（Hedges'= -0.379，p<0.001）、心理健康（Hedges'= -0.358，p<0.001）、暴力（Hedges'= -0.318，p<0.001）、性健康（Hedges'= -0.145，p<0.001）以及同时存在的风险（Hedges'= -0.331，p<0.001）都存在显著的保护关系。这些结果提供了强有力的证据，表明学校归属感有可能预防和减轻青少年时期的多种健康风险。
