Stigma related to targeted school-based mental health interventions: a systematic review of qualitative evidence

One in ten children and young people (CYP) experience mental health problems (Polanczyk et al., 2015), and mental disorders constitute the greatest cause of non-fatal burden of disease for CYP aged 10 to 24 years (Gore et al., 2011). Early mental health problems often persist or recur in later life: around half of adults with mental disorders identify the first onset before the age of 15 years (Kim-Cohen et al., 2003). Despite the prevalence and negative impacts of mental health problems among CYP, most go untreated (Merikangas et al., 2011).
