Overview

Longitudinal analysis reveals schools' absenteeism impacts on youths' mental health, indicating urgent interventions needed.

Key Points

  • Path analyses showed that absenteeism predictions can lead to poorer mental health outcomes, with a time delay observed.
  • The study utilized parent reports from 72 children and youth, assessing both school attendance and mental health over two time points.
  • The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to support mental health and improve school attendance among children and youth.
