Given the importance of schools in promoting adolescent health, this study reviewed school-based health literacy interventions targeting socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents aged 13–24, with a secondary focus on participatory implementation strategies. A comprehensive search across six databases identified 7152 records published between 2010 and 2024, of which 26 met the inclusion criteria. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, non-randomized studies, qualitative studies, and mixed-methods designs. Study quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Most interventions focused on physical activity, diet, or mental health, but none explicitly measured health literacy. However, health literacy-relevant components were common, especially functional health literacy, while critical health literacy was nearly absent. While educational, hands-on learning and participatory approaches were often employed, student involvement was limited, and few interventions addressed the broader social and structural context influencing adolescent health literacy. The findings underscore the need for youth-centered approaches, improved conceptual clarity, and greater attention to the socioeconomic and cultural context. Strengthening school-based strategies in this way is crucial for supporting health equity during a key developmental period.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45912,"journal":{"name":"Adolescent Research Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"1 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40894-025-00273-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147388559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review examines the factors associated with perpetration and victimization of this behavior among adolescents and young adults. The analysis of 63 quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies revealed that non-consensual dissemination of sexts is a form of online sexual gender-based violence and that a variety of factors related to sociodemographics, interpersonal relations, personal characteristics, mental health, sexuality, online behavior, perceptions of non-consensual dissemination of sexts, deviant and criminal behavior, and other factors are associated with it. Furthermore, the review shows that most of the identified factors are associated with perpetration of the behavior. Fewer factors have been found to be associated with victimization of non-consensual dissemination of sexts. Overall, more attention has been paid to risk factors than to protective factors for involvement in these behaviors. Based on these findings, some recommendations for future research are formulated. In terms of education and prevention, it would be particularly interesting to focus on peer norms and pressure, gender and sexual role dynamics and stereotypes, and ideas, norms and attitudes towards sexting and non-consensual dissemination of sexts in particular. In terms of support, it is particularly important to focus on the (mental health) vulnerabilities of young people involved in the behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45912,"journal":{"name":"Adolescent Research Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"49 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147388569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following PRISMA guidelines, 7253 articles were evaluated, including 100 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Selected studies included samples from a variety of countries, balanced in terms of gender and with ages ranging from childhood to adulthood. Most studies emphasized loneliness as distress arising from perceived deficiencies in social relationships, with measurement approaches varying considerably. The findings reveal complex, bidirectional relationships between victimization and loneliness, with stronger associations in adolescent samples compared to younger children or adults. While traditional bullying consistently demonstrated significant associations with loneliness, the cyberbullying-loneliness relationship showed greater variability. Some factors such as bystander behaviour or school connectedness moderated this relationship, being this protective effect stronger for girls. This review identifies critical gaps in understanding how different forms of loneliness interact with victimization across developmental stages and cultural contexts, providing a foundation for designing targeted interventions that address loneliness in victimized youth, particularly during adolescence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45912,"journal":{"name":"Adolescent Research Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"195 - 247"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40894-025-00266-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147388558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This meta-analysis included 110 articles comprising 120 independent samples with 88,349 adolescents. The results of three-level meta-analyses revealed that positive and negative parenting were associated with higher and lower adolescent self-compassion, respectively, with small to moderate effect sizes. Additionally, meta-analytic structural equation modeling result showed that self-compassion mediated the relationships between both positive and negative parenting and internalizing problems. These associations in the mediation model were largely equivalent across adolescent age, gender and different cultures except for a stronger effect of self-compassion on internalizing problems in samples with higher proportions of female adolescents and from more individualistic cultures.

Peer factors (e.g., poor social relationships, social comparison, fear of missing out, negative peer pressure, exposure to relational aggression), negative emotions, personality traits (e.g., sensation seeking), and poor mental health emerged as the most common risk factors.

A comprehensive search of online databases identified 546 studies, with 22 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Early life stress was consistently associated with alterations across several white matter pathways, across Association, Projection and Commissural tracts. Compared to healthy controls, perturbed white matter integrity was observed in adolescents with early life stress exposure, as indexed by both increased and decreased fractional anisotropy. Compromised white matter integrity can have extensive impacts on adolescent development and associated functioning, including emotional dysregulation, mood instability, executive dysfunction, and sensorimotor impairments. Limitations of the current evidence base include the inconsistencies in the measurement of early life stress exposure and the lack of longitudinal research.
