Adolescent Mental Health Theme Issue

In early 2023, we launched an ongoing theme issue in JAMA Pediatrics focused on adolescent mental health. The impetus for this theme issue was driven by the rise in adolescent mental health issues and heightened concerns following the COVID-19 pandemic contributing to worsened adolescent mental health. We called out the need for studies focused on adolescent mental health, as well as factors associated with better mental health, such as physical health, positive family relationships, and social support.
