Mental health problems such as anxiety are on the increase in children and adolescents. However, rising demand and cuts to mental health services make it difficult for young people to access the support they need. School-based interventions aimed at preventing or reducing anxiety have the potential to provide help to large numbers of children and adolescents. However, the effectiveness of these interventions for different groups is somewhat unclear. This commentary summarises and critically appraises a recent systematic review which investigated the effectiveness of school-based interventions to prevent and reduce anxiety symptoms in indicated groups of children and adolescents.
焦虑等心理健康问题在儿童和青少年中呈上升趋势。然而,需求的增加和心理健康服务的削减使得年轻人难以获得他们所需的支持。旨在预防或减轻焦虑的学校干预措施有可能为大量儿童和青少年提供帮助。然而,这些干预措施对不同群体的有效性尚不完全清楚。本评论总结并批判性地评估了最近一项系统综述,该综述调查了学校干预措施对特定儿童和青少年群体预防和减轻焦虑症状的有效性。
