“…Then, the conclusions we have drawn regarding emotional and behavioral problems in the population of Italian adolescents could not be fully appreciated without considering the clinical population. For instance, interesting studies highlighted the role of emotional and behavioral problems in vulnerable populations of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder ( 97 ) as well as the interplay of these problems with psychopathological variables typically involved in mental disorders ( 98 ). In this regard, the second part of this study, consisting of replicating this study on clinical samples, may be precious to better contextualize the data discussed here.…”

BackgroundThis is a systematic review and meta-analysis of emotional and behavioral problems among Italian community adolescents in the last 20 years, as assessed through the ASEBA questionnaires CBCL 6–18, YSR 11–18 and TRF 6–18. Research questions address: (1) pooled means of problems’ scores in questionnaires scales; (2–3) variations in scores according to sociodemographic and time-related factors, and studies’ quality; (4) trends in research with ASEBA instruments along with other outcomes, e.g., psychopathological symptoms.MethodsA systematic literature review of Scopus, EBSCO, PubMed, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines was conducted on November, 2021, and of grey literature on December, 2021. The quality of studies was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.ResultsForty-four studies were eligible for the systematic review, of which 34 were included for meta-analysis. Results showed that: (1) emotional-behavioral problems were higher when assessed by the CBCL and lower when assessed by the YSR compared to normative data; (2) there were no gender and age differences, except for higher scores of Anxious/Depression symptoms, in girls. (3) internalizing and attention problems increased over the last two decades. (4) major trends of Italian research investigate adolescents’ emotional behavioral problems concerning attachment, comorbid symptoms, especially internet addictions, and eating disorders.DiscussionDespite some limitations (e.g., low-medium quality of most studies, no data on the TRF, under-representation of some geographical areas, some search-related choices), these data provides Italian practitioners and international researchers of some parameter to evaluate Italian adolescents emotional-behavioral problems.
