Healio (12/29, Weldon) reports, “School environments play a role in early adolescents’ mental health,” researchers concluded in the 26,885-student “My Resilience in Adolescence (MYRIAD) study, a collaborative survey between various universities in the United Kingdom.” The study revealed that even though “schools explained only small amounts of variation in mental health, school climate was nonetheless associated with mental health.” Additionally, the study revealed that “children who attended schools with a higher proportion of white pupils had poorer mental health than children in schools with more ethnically diverse student bodies.” The findings were published in the December issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
