Overview

Schools, in the context of child and adolescent health and psychology, are formal educational settings that, beyond academic instruction, serve as influential environments for social, emotional, behavioral, and physical development and as practical venues for health promotion, screening, and intervention. Because children and adolescents spend much of their lives in school, these settings shape exposures to peer relationships, nutrition, physical activity, infectious disease, bullying, and psychosocial stress, and they offer an effective platform for delivering preventive, educational, and psychological programs, including cognitive and behavioral approaches. Research relevant to this topic examines the reopening of schools and universal face-mask adoption during pandemic transmission, premenstrual syndrome among secondary-school students, school-based nutrition regulation, infectious disease among schoolchildren, adolescent sexuality education delivered through schools, the capture and use of school data on bullying and harassment, and psychosocial determinants of substance use among school students. Related work addresses barriers to physical activity and healthy eating and children's understanding of fluid intake. Collectively these studies treat the school as both a determinant of and a setting for child and adolescent wellbeing. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on school-based and school-related dimensions of child and adolescent health and behavior, including education, special educational needs, and the promotion of physical and mental wellbeing in school populations.
