The correlation analyses indicated that school climate (T1) was positively correlated with resilience (T1) and negatively correlated with PLEs (T1 and T2). After controlling for confounding variables, the final model showed that the impact of school climate on PLEs at T1 (indirect effect = −0.09, 95% CI <i>=</i> −0.22, −0.20) and T2 (indirect effect = −0.01, 95% CI <i>=</i> −0.06, −0.02) was mediated by resilience.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>These findings offer new insights into the mechanisms linking school climate and PLEs, highlighting the importance of resilience in the effective prevention and intervention of PLEs among adolescents.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11385,"journal":{"name":"Early Intervention in Psychiatry","volume":"19 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144767451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the psychosocial factors influencing PLEs severity and their distribution across diagnoses remain under-researched. Updated knowledge of these aspects is crucial for clinical understanding and treatment. This study aims to expand existing research by investigating the prevalence and psychosocial factors associated with PLEs in help-seeking adolescents, examining differences in their severity across diagnoses and multimorbidity, and exploring preliminary changes following routine cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This observational, non-controlled study included 275 adolescents attending a routine mental health service for young people in Germany.
