Embase, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO were comprehensively searched to identify relevant articles. Risk of bias assessments were conducted using the QualSyst quality assessment tool for articles meeting the following inclusion criteria: English- language articles published in peer-reviewed journals on or before 9 May 9 2025, that used validated quantitative mental health measures.<i>Results:</i> Of the 45 included articles, 38 examined child mental health and 14 investigated parental mental health (seven studies explored both child and parent mental health). Twenty-six measures were used, most commonly the Child Behavior Checklist for child mental health and the Short Form Health Survey for parental mental health. Although methodological heterogeneity yielded conflicting results, overall, the evidence summarised suggested both the child and parents were at an increased risk of long-term mental health difficulties.<i>Conclusion:</i> The evidence presented in this review highlights the value of incorporating routine mental health follow-up into the standard clinical care of children and families affected by congenital anomalies.</p>","PeriodicalId":45290,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child and Adolescent Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144700017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Females exhibited higher neurosis (<i>p</i> = 0.001) and PTSS (<i>p</i> = 0.022). Higher maternal education was associated with fewer psychotic symptoms (<i>p</i> = 0.006).

Bivariate analyses were performed to estimate SWB, and analysis of variance was used to assess differences in SWB based on participant characteristics. Changes in SWB over time were analysed using mean difference values, with subgroup analyses comparing middle and high school students.<i>Results:</i> Findings revealed that while overall SWB remained relatively stable from 2016 to 2019 (with scores of 72.47 and 71.68, respectively), a significant decrease was observed in 2021 (scoring 68.97). Notably, SWB was significantly lower in females compared to males, and in high school students compared to middle school students. A consistent downtrend in SWB was evident over the five years among specific groups, including females, adolescents not living with their parents, those intending to leave home, and those experiencing severe stress.<i>Conclusions:</i> This study examined the SWB of Korean adolescents and its change over time, revealing a significant decline in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring SWB and having informed welfare initiatives to enhance adolescents' quality of life.
