Overview

Schools, in the context of child and adolescent health, are formal educational settings that, beyond instruction, function as influential environments for children's social, emotional, behavioral, and physical development and as key venues for health promotion, screening, and intervention. Because children and adolescents spend much of their daily lives in school, these settings shape exposures to peer relationships, nutrition, physical activity, infectious disease transmission, bullying, and psychosocial stress, and they offer a practical platform for delivering preventive and educational programs. Research relevant to this topic examines the reopening of schools and universal face-mask adoption during pandemic transmission, premenstrual syndrome among secondary-school students, work and school alternation for persons with intellectual disabilities, teaching and learning methodologies for learners with special educational needs, and the capture and use of school data on bullying and harassment. Related work addresses school-based nutrition regulation, infectious disease among schoolchildren, adolescent sexuality education delivered through schools, and barriers to physical activity and healthy eating. Collectively these studies treat the school as a determinant of and setting for child and adolescent wellbeing. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on school-based and school-related dimensions of child and adolescent health, including education, behavior, special educational needs, and the promotion of physical and mental wellbeing in school populations.
