“…Together several studies investigated internalising problems such as depression, stress, emotional distress, eating issues, anxiety, sadness and suicidality [ 26 , 47 – 92 ], and externalising problems such as behaviour and conduct problems [ 93 – 111 ]. Some studies also focused on personality [ 112 – 114 ] or multiple problems [ 23 , 115 – 140 ]. Most of these studies explored prevalence or risk and protective factors associated with these problems.…”

“…The findings from the reviewed studies indicated prevalence and incidence rates ranging from 4.5 to 62% for internalising behaviours [ 61 , 69 ] and 21–90.9% for externalising behaviours in CYP [ 115 , 131 ]. Problems with relationships, home or family [ 48 , 84 , 117 , 123 , 139 ] or the community [ 26 , 47 ] and exposure to violence [ 96 ] were identified as key risk factors for mental health and wellbeing problems in CYP.…”

Internationally, there is a wealth of research suggesting that many children and young people experience mental health problems. However, the evidence from low- and middle-income countries and developing nations is generally limited. This scoping review aimed to add to the body of evidence by providing an overview of the available research literature on children and young people’s (CYP’s) mental health in the English-speaking Caribbean region. Seven key online academic databases and grey literature sources were searched until January 2021. Records were screened against predefined criteria and suitable articles retrieved. Relevant information was then charted and summarized. All stages of the review were informed by expert consultations. Ninety-six articles from 7901 records met the inclusion criteria. Most of the studies were conducted in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados while fewer studies reported findings from St Lucia, The Bahamas and St Kitts and Nevis. Research funding was not frequently reported, and participants were predominantly recruited in education settings. There was a substantial focus on depressive symptoms and behaviour problems. Little or no research was available for younger children (< 12), complex clinical cases or commonly under-represented groups. Four unique interventions were identified of which one intervention showed no significant impact on CYP. Among the commonly used outcome measures only the Jamaican Youth Checklist (teacher-reported), Beck Depression Inventory-II, Brief Screen for Depression, Trinidad and Tobago Youth Survey and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory had evidence for psychometric validity within this population. We discuss future directions, implications and recommendations for research, practice, policy and training.

“…Therefore, the body of empirical research conducted by academics in psychology in Barbados has primarily centered on education-related issues. Researched areas include teacher training (e.g., Maynard, 2018;, cultural validation of psychological measures (e.g., Campbell et al, 2012Campbell et al, , 2018Griffith et al, 2020;, and youth identity exploration and development (e.g., Jules et al, 2015Jules et al, , 2017Jules et al, , 2019Marshall & Maynard, 2009;. In addition, research work focused on psychosocial factors (e.g., psychological resilience, emotional intelligence, parental involvement) which may contribute to or undermine academic achievement and school engagement among youth in Barbados (e.g., Fayombo, 2010Fayombo, , 2012Fayombo, , 2015Jules et al, 2020;Marshall et al, 2015;Maynard, 2007;Maynard & Fayombo, 2015;Maynard & Springer-Proverbs, 2010;Maynard & Welch, 2009;Stubbs & Maynard, 2017).…”

“…Due to their low intellectual accomplishment and problematic behaviours obstructing progress, students with EBD need numerous opportunities to respond to academic cues, frequent feedback, and evidence-based method (Cumming et al, 2021). Instructors refer students who may have SE needs to the Student Services branch of the Ministry of Education, which determines the least restrictive placement option (Griffith et al, 2022). ID symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the disorders underlying cause.…”

The teacher's special education certification (SPEC) degree is a barometer for their competence in study, practice, and policy. This research compared the test scores of elementary and middle school children with learning disabilities and emotional and behavioural disorders taught by Special Education Teachers (SET) to those of students who General Education Teachers (GET) led in the same subject areas. The type of certification for teachers has little impact on most student groupings. In Learning Disabilities (LD) and regular education, students with LD and more extraordinary intellectual ability performed better in English language arts (ELA) with a trained teacher. Students with Emotional Behavioural Disorders (EBD) who were less proficient in mathematics were less likely to be helped by SET compared to General Education (GE) and Licensed Special Education Teachers (LSET). These words' actual meanings are examined concerning SET quality measures. The outcomes reported here should be understood under several constraints. Operational datasets, like the one utilized in this study, rarely contain data on crucial factors that affect an exceptional education-certified or dual-certified teacher's capacity for effectiveness.
