- Аннотация: Youth mental health problems are an issue of a major public health concern. According to the World Health Organisation, one in seven adolescents experiences a mental disorder. If left untreated, youth mental health problems can lead to various negative life outcomes, including lower educational attainment, worse financial status, and higher risk of physical morbidity and mortality. In spite of high prevalence of youth mental health problems globally, the research in this area in low and middle income countries is very limited. Therefore, the proposed symposium aims to address this gap by covering a range of topics on youth mental health across the globe, by five speakers from four countris - the UK, Russia, Kyrgyzstan and Malawi. In the first two talks, the focus is on students‘ mental health in Kyrgyzstan, a lower-middle-income country in Central Asia. One of these talks compares prevalences of adolescent depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic between Kyrgyzstan and Russia; whereas the second talk investigates the link between mental health problems and educational attainment among University students in Kyrgyzstan. The two other talks are on youth pregnancy and mental health. One of these talk explores the role of psychoeducation in perinatal depression and anxiety in young mothers. Another talk explores the life course mental health of women with adolescent pregnancy. The final talk of the symposium aims to compare the level of depressive symptoms among adolescents who survived acute lymphoblastic leukemia and posterior fossa tumors. The discussants of the symposium will summarize the presented findings and outline the directions for future research aiming at improving youth mental health around the globe.
