Consensus Statement on Effective School Mental Health Needed: Review A research review published in Issue #3, 2013 of Advances in School Mental Health suggests that "no clear consensus statement has emerged regarding school mental health promotion other than that child mental health is an important area that should be addressed in schools. This integrative review seeks to address this gap." The authors conclude that " Findings suggest a whole school approach focusing on mental health promotion rather than on mental illness prevention is effective in promoting child and youth mental health. However, study populations are limited and many studies either lack clarity regarding who implemented interventions, lack theoretical foundations, process evaluations or youth viewpoints." Note: The International School Health Network has posted a draft consensus statement on school mental health programs on this web page. As well, an overview of the research and experience on SMH programs can be found on this web page in a Wikipedia style summary Teacher Perceptions of Parent Involvement An article in the September 2013 issue of School Psychology Quarterly describes the ambivalent feelings and perceptions of parent involvement held by by teachers. The study was designed as follows: "Parent involvement indicators and correlates were selected from a review of existing research. Participants included 34 teachers and 577 children in kindergarten through third grade. The vast majority of the sample was African American (78%), followed by Caucasian (19%) and other ethnic backgrounds (2%). Two subscales from the Parent Involvement-Teacher scale, contact and comfort, were entered as indicators in a latent profile analysis to determine the number and types of parent involvement classes. Contact included the frequency of interactions between parents and teachers; comfort included the quality of their relationship with the parent and how well their goals were aligned". The authors report that "Three classes provided the optimal solution. This included two classes of parents with low contact with teachers but different comfort levels; one with low contact and low comfort (11%), and one with low contact but high comfort (71%). The remaining class, representing 18% of parents, was rated high on both contact and comfort. Low income status, family problems, and social, emotional, academic, and selfregulation problems distinguished the low comfort class from the other two classes. It is imperative to help teachers feel more comfortable working with families who may be experiencing substantial stressors and who also have children who need support across school and home settings." Family Dinners are not a Panacea Family dinners have recently been highlighted as a way of promoting health of children and adolescents as well as preventing different health problems. However, an article in Issue #3, 2013 of the Journal of Health & Social Behavior reports that an analysis of the 1997 US National Longitudinal Study of Youth (n = 5,419) suggests that dinners have little effect on substance use and may actually cause an increase. The authors report that "The results indicate that family dinners are not generally associated with alcohol or cigarette use or with drug use initiation. However, a continuous measure of family dinners is modestly associated with marijuana frequency, thus suggesting a potential causal impact. These results show that family dinners may help prevent one form of substance use in the short term but do not generally affect substance use initiation or alcohol and cigarette use."

School Mental Health Programs Work in Low & Middle Income Countries A systematic review of school and community-based mental health programs in low and middle countries was reported in the September 2013 o=issue of BMC Public Health. The reviewers report that of the 22 studies selected for the review "With regard to the school-based interventions, the quality of evidence from the 14 studies is moderate to strong. Findings indicate that there is reasonably robust evidence that programmes implemented across diverse LMICs can have significant positive effects on students emotional and behavioural wellbeing, including reduced depression and anxiety and improved coping skills. Promising interventions include the Resourceful Adolescent Program (RAP-A), delivered by teachers in Mauritius. This study is an example of an evidence-based intervention adapted from a HIC. Another promising intervention is the teacher led peer-group support intervention for AIDs orphaned children. This study suggests the potential of peer support mental health promotion interventions in optimizing adjustment and decreasing the psychological distress associated with AIDS orphanhood. Such interventions may have great potential in addressing the increased risk of depression, peer relationship problems, post-traumatic stress and conduct problems. There is also some encouraging evidence that interventions which combine lifeskills with reproductive and sexual health education and physical health and fitness can have a significant positive effect on pupils risk -taking and prosocial behaviour. These findings are consistent with the substantive evidence from multiple reviews of school-based interventions in HICs which report the greater effectiveness of multi-component interventions (i.e. interventions that adopt a social competence approach and develop supportive environments), when compared with interventions that focus on specific problem behaviours". Adolescent Male Health When Gender Equity Means Female Only Despite the fact that make adolescents and young men are more likely to be abused, sexually assaulted, commit suicide, drop out of school, abuse substances, have unintentional injuries, have serious sexual health issues and a host of other health and social risks, the research focusing on their health and development is minimal. An article in the September 2013 issue of Pediatrics examines this gap by reviewing the research. The authors note that "This review covers male health issues related to health care access and the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions Healthy 2020 objectives for adolescents and young adults, focusing on the objectives for chronic illness, mortality, unintentional injury and violence, mental health and substance use, and reproductive and sexual health. We focus, in particular, on gender-specific issues, particularly in reproductive and sexual health. The review provides recommendations for the overall care of adolescent and young adult males." Intellectual Disabilities & Crime: Pathways involving Schools Several articles in Issue #5, 2013 of Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities examine the pathways, assessment and treatment of offenders with intellectual disabilities. The correlation and causal relationship is not surprising but what is relevant for schools is how they can be engaged in changing the pathways that are often well-established in the school-age years. Indeed, the "school-to-prison" pipeline, a topic often discussed in the school-linked crime prevention research, is likely particularly relevant here. Teen Drinking Tied to Community, Parents not Schools An article in Issue #3, 2013 of the Journal of Adolescent Health reports on the analysis of Danish HBSC and National Health Survey data to report that community norms and parental drinking practices are correlated strongly with adolescent drunkeness. The authors nites that "Risk factors for adolescent alcohol use are typically conceptualized at the individual level, and school- and community-level risk factors have received little attention. Based on the theoretical understanding of youth alcohol consumption as a reflection of community social practice, we analyzed whether adolescent drunkenness was related to community-level adult alcohol use (AAC) as well as parent drinking" The authors report that " Overall, 33.5% of students had been drunk twice or more. High community-level AAC was significantly associated with adolescent drunkenness (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.94 [1.213.11]). Parental drinking was strongly related to adolescent drunkenness but did not attenuate the relationship between community-level AAC and adolescent drunkenness". Interestingly the study also found "no association between adolescent drunkenness and school-level variables (youth friendly environment, alcohol education, and exposure to alcohol outlets". Context Matters in Youth Transitions Most of the articles in the September 2013 Issue of Journal of Youth & Adolescence are part of a special issue on longitudinal and contextual influences on youth educational engagement, transitions, attainment, and achievement. The

articles cover several aspects, including the age-old practice of disparaging academic success in some peer groups, the important role played by mothers in teen transitions in lower income communities, a detailed look at how teachers can help or hinder in transitions and many more.

Transition to College/University: A Complex time for Health A small Australian study reported in Issue #6, 2013 of Journal of Youth Studies describes the factors that influence health & well-being during the transition from secondary school to post-secondary studies. while there is nothing startling in the findings, the article does make the case for much more attention being paid to this critical time for young adults, as they experiment with alcohol, drugs, sex, relationships and more. The authors summarize their findings as follows: "Findings indicate that there are significant factors that impact on student well-being during this transition. These include: geographical relocation, engagement with university learning, sense of community as well as managing time and competing demands. Findings also indicate that whilst young people accept an individualised responsibility managing health and wellbeing, the social conditions of transition to university render this complex and problematic." New Paradigm for Understanding Puberty/Adolescence An article in Issue #6, 2013 of American Psychologist proposes a new paradigm for understanding the often-called "stormy time" in adolescence. The authors that we need to move "beyond storm and stress towards typicality, transactions, timing, and temperament to account for adolescent change. They summarize their work as follows: "Adolescent storm and stress has been a focal yet controversial developmental framework for over a century. In the present article, we challenge the current perspective that storm and stress is neither ubiquitous nor inevitable but probable. Instead, we argue, storm and stress is a vestigial developmental framework, and we propose a more comprehensive approach to understanding adolescent-typical changes based on six premises: (1) The biological changes of adolescence are inevitable and ubiquitous; (2) adolescent biological changes drive various mechanisms of adolescent behavior; (3) adolescent biological changes are shaped by environmental influences; (4) individual differences in adolescent emotional-behavior changes are domain specific and vary in intensity; (5) there are individual differences in the age of onset and duration of periods of adolescent change; and (6) individual differences in the duration and intensity of transitions in emotional arousal are functionally modulated by burgeoning emotion regulation skills. We conclude with the more comprehensive 4T (typicality, transactions, temperament, and timing) approach and suggestions to guide adolescent research in the 21st century." Community, Family Bonds Critical to Aboriginal Transition to School An article in Issue #7, 2013 of Journal of Community Psychology makes the case for strengthening community and family bonds for indigenous children prior to their transition to schooling, particularly when they are in situations where their cultures and family structures need to be rebuilt. The authors report that: "This study reports on an intervention program designed to facilitate transition to school of a whole community of Indigenous Australian children who had previously not been attending. The children were from families displaced from their traditional lands and experienced on-going social marginalisation and transience. A social capital framework was employed to track change in the children's social inclusion and family-school engagement for two years, from school entry. Sociometric measurement and interview techniques were applied to assess the children's social connectedness and peer relationship quality. Using these data, analyses examined whether bonding within the group supported or inhibited formation of new social relationships. Although transience disrupted attendance, there was a group trend towards increased social inclusion with some evidence that group bonds supported bridging to new social relationships." Note: This research is particularly relevant to a Canadian debate about a government-imposed overhaul of aboriginal education, where native leaders in Nova Scotia have been focused on these links as part of their running of band elementary schools for two decades prior to the proposed government takeover. Teen's Sense of Coherence in Adversity is Key We have been tracking a number of articles from several journals recently that have described how the "accumulation of adversity" caused by community, family and other circumstances and life incidents causes youth behaviour and other problems. An articles in Issue #3, 2013 of Journal of Public Mental Health takes it further when discussing how the young person's "sense of coherence" in the face of adverse circumstances and incidents is critical. Other articles we have noted also delineate the schools' role, particularly in areas such as their perception of the fairness of their treatment at school, whether teachers cared about them and the relationships they established at school. Their sense of coherence (SOC) was found to be "Findings RHB such as drinking alcohol, taking drugs and smoking, correlated positively with attitudes to risk

and negatively with SOC. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that there was a significant relationship between ARBS and reported health behaviour, which was strengthened by SOC. SOC contributes to the relationship between attitudes and perception of risk and RHB, whereby individuals with stronger SOC were less likely to partake in RHB. Qualitative analysis revealed that the components of SOC (comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness) were perceptible six months minimum after the programme has been undertaken."

Attitudes, Beliefs, Gender Influence Drinking on Non-College Youth An articles in Issue #5, 2013 of Journal of Studies on Alcohol & Drugs is one of very few that have examined the alcohol use of non-college bound youth. The researchers report that " the current study aimed to identify psychosocial correlates of risky alcohol use for noncollege emerging adults. A secondary goal was to examine whether gender moderated the relationships between the psychosocial constructs and alcohol use. Method: Participants were a nationally representative sample of noncollege emerging adults (1822 years old) who reported using alcohol in the past year, recruited through an established Internet panel (N = 209; 125 women). A path model was used to examine the relationship between theoretically derived constructs (expectancies, attitudes, normative beliefs) and risky (peak) drinking. A second model examined a multigroup solution to assess moderating effects of gender. The full-sample model revealed significant associations between attitudes toward drinking and risky drinking. The model assessing gender differences revealed association between normative beliefs and drinking for women but not men, whereas attitudes were significantly associated with risky drinking for both men and women. Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of attitudes and, for women, descriptive norms in the etiology of risky drinking among non-college emerging adults." Student Absences, Achievement & Health/Safety: Integration within Ed Researchers are now focusing on student absences as a key element in student achievement. In the US, states are examining this problem and student health and safety are showing up as key factors. In the US, an estimated 5 million to 7.5 million students (more than one out of 10) miss that much school every year, a crisis in absenteeism that is exacerbating achievement gaps and dropout rates. In Utah, a 2012 statewide analysis showed that 13.5 percent of all students were chronically absent and that those chronically absent in any year between 8th and 12th grades were 7.4 times more likely to drop out of high school. Many students cannot get to school because of chronic health conditions; inadequate access to medical, mental health or dental care; unstable or poor-quality unhealthy housing; unreliable transportation; or a lack of effective family and community supports and service delivery. This is especially true for children living in poverty or involved in the foster care or juvenile justice systems. Sometimes poor attendance occurs when students are avoiding going to school because of bullying, academic difficulty, dangerous routes to and from school, an unhealthy school climate, punitive disciplinary practices or the lack of effective instruction. For school health advocates, this means we should examine health & social problems that lead to repeated or prolonged absences as our contribution. Indeed, the US report calls for an inter-agency report. In our view, this is one example of how health agency programs can be better integrated with the core priorities of education systems. A Child Friendly Youth Justice System An article in Issue #3, 2013 of Safer Communities make the argument that youth justice systems should be based on a preventive approach when dealing with youth rather than the assumption of guilt or trouble that often accompanies their treatment in the system. "The paper presents three general findings. First, young people can be subject to youth justice intervention without a presenting problem or offence committed. More pertinently this form of pre-emptive criminalisation violates the child's human rights, due-process and legal safeguards. Second, young people who are drawn into the net of formal youth justice intervention can suffer from the stigmatising and labelling effects of being criminalised. Third, there is a pressing need for youth justice policy and practice to be transformed, in order to allow for the implementation of more informal, diversionary and restorative measures. The pap er considers alternative perspectives and the prospect of a youth justice predicated upon the principles of informal justice, child-friendly values and the notion of inclusion". Cultural Approach to Child Protection in Indigenous Communities An article in the September 2013 Issue of the international Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health cal;ls for a culturally relevant and competent approach to child protection in aboriginal communities. The authors argue that "Child Sexual Assault (CSA) in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is a complex issue that cannot be understood in

isolation from the ongoing impacts of colonial invasion, genocide, assimilation, institutionalised racism and severe socioeconomic deprivation. Service responses to CSA are often experienced as racist, culturally, financially and/or geographically inaccessible.". The article is based on a two day forum. "The forum was attended by eighty invited Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal youth sexual assault managers and workers representing both victim and those who sexually harm others services. In keeping with Aboriginal Community -Based Research methods forum participants largely directed discussions and contributed to the analysis of key themes and recommendations reported in this article. The need for sexual assault services to prioritise cultural safety by meaningfully integrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Worldviews emerged as a key recommendation. It was also identified that collaboration between victims and those who sexually harm services are essential given Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander C&YP who sexually harm others may have also been victims of sexual assault or physical violence and intergenerational trauma. By working with the whole family and community, a collaborative approach is more likely than the current service model to develop cultural safety and thus increase the accessibility of sexual assault services."
