“…In China, however, adolescents and their parents completed the youth and parent versions of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-Version (DISC-IV). Furthermore, the sample represented adolescents in 7th to 9th grades (11). Other studies in the Arab world, such as Gaza and Saudi Arabia, showed that the prevalence of anxiety disorders was much higher than our finding (15,30,31).…”

“…Depressive disorders are estimated to affect up to 8.9% of adolescents (7). However, the reported prevalence in different countries varies considerably (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). In Middle Eastern countries, the prevalence of depression among female adolescents in Saudi Arabia ranged between 13.9% and 41.5% (12,15).…”

Les troubles de stress et d'anxiété chez des élèves adolescents en JordanieRÉSUMÉ Les troubles mentaux chez les adolescents ont des impacts négatifs sur des aspects concernant la santé et la vie quotidienne, mais les données relatives à leur prévalence manquent en Jordanie. La présente étude avait pour objectif d'estimer la prévalence des troubles de stress et d'anxiété et d'enquêter sur leur association avec le sexe et d'autres facteurs socio-démographiques chez des élèves adolescents. Une conception transversale descriptive à été utilisée dans cette étude. Un échantillon composé de 1103 élèves adolescents ayant terminé les deux premières sections du questionnaire de santé du patient pour les adolescents a été recruté dans des écoles. La prévalence des troubles mentaux était de 28,6 %. La prévalence des troubles de stress et d'anxiété était respectivement de 22,4 % et 16,3 %. Des associations significatives ont été trouvées entre les troubles mentaux et le sexe, l'âge, le fait d'habiter avec ses parents ou l'état de santé mentale des parents. D'autres études doivent être réalisées en Jordanie pour comprendre la nature et les facteurs de risque des troubles mentaux chez les adolescents. Des programmes de dépistage, de promotion et prévention dans le domaine de la santé mentale en milieu scolaire et communautaire sont recommandés pour prévenir et réduire la prévalence des troubles mentaux chez les adolescents. ABSTRACT Mental disorders in adolescents have negative impacts on aspects of health and life that can be reduced by early detection and referral. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders and to investigate their association with gender and other socio-demographic factors among adolescent students. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study. A sample of 1103 adolescent students was recruited from schools who completed the first two sections of Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A). The prevalence of any mental disorders was 28.6%. The prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders was 22.4% and 16.3%, respectively. Significant associations were found between mental disorders and gender, age, living status with parents, or mental health status of parents. Further studies are needed to be conducted in Jordan in order to understand the nature and risk factors of mental disorders among adolescents. School and community-based mental health screening, promotion and prevention programmes are recommended to prevent and reduce the prevalence of mental disorders among adolescents. ‫األردن‬ ‫يف‬ ‫املراهقني‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫صفوف‬ ‫يف‬ ‫بالقلق‬ ‫املرتبطة‬ ‫واالضطرابات‬ ‫املزاجية‬ ‫االضطرابات‬

“…Epidemiological findings suggested that Hong Kong Chinese children face the same kind of developmental and mental health challenges as those faced by children in the West (Leung et al 2008). Eisenberg and colleagues found that Chinese and U.S. children have similar patterns of effortful control and emotionality (Zhou et al 2004;Eisenberg et al 2007).…”

This paper describes a pilot study of a reduced version of the PATHS Curriculum, a USdeveloped evidence-based SEL program, among schools in Hong Kong SAR (China). Three hundred and sixteen 12th grade students in three elementary schools participated in the study. A limited number of first grade PATHS lessons were adapted and translated into Chinese. Twelve teachers learned and adopted these lessons in their teaching. Students in these classrooms learned about different emotions and practiced self-control. The intervention lasted four months. After the intervention, students showed improvement in emotion understanding, emotion regulation and prosocial behavior. No change was observed in the level of children's problem behaviors. Over 65% of the teachers reported a high degree of satisfaction and willingness to adopt the intervention. The effects of the intervention varied among schools, with variations in the level of intervention and principal support, but not in the quality of implementation. Discussion is focused on the factors that could shape the adoption and implementation of SEL programs, especially the role of the difference in school systems between Hong Kong and the United States.

“…A local study of the prevalence of DSM-IV disorders in Chinese adolescents pointed out that figures would be overestimated if the impairment criteria were not taken into account. 35 Although MABC used alone would probably overdiagnose DCD by not considering the impairment factors, it is worth noting that 17.9% of our study candidates had definite motor problems. This is actually below the 5th percentile of the general population.…”
