Letter to the Editor: Does community cohesion matter everywhere? Further reflections on Brieant and Burt's rural-urban findings.
Objective: This Letter provides commentary on the recent study by Brieant and Burt (Child and Adolescent Mental Health, 30(2), 140-148), which explored the protective role of community cohesion in mitigating mental health problems among youth facing socioeconomic disadvantage across rural and urban contexts.
Commentary: While commending the authors for their valuable contribution, I highlight methodological concerns regarding the rural subgroup's limited sample size, suggesting that marginal significance in rural contexts should be interpreted cautiously. I also discuss the possibility that protective effects on internalizing symptoms may emerge later in adolescence.
Implications: Recommendations are provided for future research to incorporate more nuanced, context-sensitive measures of adversity relevant to rural settings. Finally, I emphasize the need for scalable and culturally informed community interventions and call for increased representation of rural populations in resilience research.
期刊介绍:
Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) publishes high quality, peer-reviewed child and adolescent mental health services research of relevance to academics, clinicians and commissioners internationally. The journal''s principal aim is to foster evidence-based clinical practice and clinically orientated research among clinicians and health services researchers working with children and adolescents, parents and their families in relation to or with a particular interest in mental health.
