“…Knowledge enables adolescents to recognize, manage, and prevent mental health problems. Adolescence is a phase where teenagers spend more time in the school environment, so schools can be quite effective places to implement mental health programs (Wei et al, 2013;Perry et al, 2014;Caldwell et al, 2019;Baffsky et al, 2022). The lack of information sources can affect the knowledge of adolescents, and thiscan reduce adolescents' desire for mental health care due to perceived stigma and shame and problems recognizing symptoms (Kaess et al, 2019;Parikh et al, 2019).…”

Background: Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood that experiences growth and development marked by physical, psychological, and social changes. Teenagers spend a lot of time in the school environment, so school is one of the places that can have a big impact on adolescent mental health. Objective: This Scoping Review aims to discuss the factors that can affect schoolbased mental health in adolescents. Methods: This scoping review uses articles from the last 10 years (2013 -2022). Determination of keywords using the PICO format in accordance with the topic scoping review. Search articles using databases such as EBSCO, Science Direct and Google Scholar according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria that have been determined. The article identification process uses the PRISMA Flowchart chart. Results: there were 19 articles reviewed with the same theme showing that there are several factors that affect the mental health of adolescents in the school environment such as knowledge and information, peer relations, academic pressure and technology. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the school environment is a place that has a considerable influence on the emergence of several factors that can impact mental health in adolescents.

Students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may engage in disruptive classroom behaviors. The Caught Being Good Game (CBGG) has been identified as an intervention for managing class-wide behaviors. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of the CBGG in increasing class-wide academically engaged behavior (AEB) and decreasing disruptive behaviors (DB) among target students diagnosed with ADHD. This study used a multiple baseline design across three elementary classrooms. The results indicated that all participants’ AEB increased when the CBGG was implemented. The results also suggested that the CBGG decreases DB among target students diagnosed with ADHD. Using the CBGG as part of classroom management could reduce the time teachers spend managing student behavior and increase the time they spend on teaching.

Effective implementation strategies are important for take-up of programs in schools. However, to date, few implementation strategies have been co-designed with teachers and support staff (including principals) in Australia. The aim of this study was to iteratively co-design multiple implementation strategies to enhance the delivery of mental health prevention program, PAX Good Behaviour Game, in New South Wales primary schools. The secondary aim was to evaluate the acceptability of the implementation strategies from the perspective of school staff. Twenty-nine educational staff (including principals) informed the co-design of the implementation strategies across three phases. Phase 1 involved a rapid review of the literature and stakeholder meetings to agree upon potential evidence-based strategies. Phase 2 involved focus group discussions with educational staff to co-design implementation strategies. Phase 3 involved semi-structured interviews with school staff to assess strategy acceptability after implementation at 6-months post-baseline. Data were analysed using deductive, framework analysis. The final co-designed intervention included nine implementation strategies accessible through a toolkit delivered to the school’s leadership team. These strategies were deemed acceptable in school settings that experienced periods of both face-to-face and remote learning due to the changing COVID-19 situation in 2021. This paper contributes to the implementation literature by transparently reporting how educational staff-informed implementation strategies were iteratively co-designed. This will provide a roadmap for other researchers to co-design implementation strategies to further support the delivery of evidence-based prevention programs in schools.
