Abstract
This article highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in understanding the environmental impacts on children's mental health, emphasizing the integration of longitudinal designs, genetic methodologies, and cross-cultural validation. Longitudinal research is essential to identify temporal relationships and sensitive developmental periods, while methods such as Mendelian randomization can help disentangle environmental effects from unmeasured genetic and social confounding factors. Cross-cultural validation is also crucial to ensure the global relevance of findings and to support equitable public health policies. This article advocates for more comprehensive research to better understand modifiable environmental factors that promote children's mental well-being.
