The rising prevalence of behavioral and mental health challenges among Indonesian adolescents, affecting nearly one in three, is a pressing concern intensified by constant internet exposure and heightened social comparisons. This study, using data from Indonesia's National Socioeconomic Survey, examines the likelihood of mental health issues in adolescents, incorporating variables like mobile phone usage, emotional and behavioral disorder classifications, travel experiences, insurance ownership, maternal residence, house surface area, and night light remote sensing data. Our findings reveal that urban adolescents face a higher susceptibility to behavioral disorders compared to rural peers, with males being 1.18 times more likely to experience behavioral and emotional disturbances than females. This research validates the suitability of these variables for assessing vulnerability among adolescents. Leveraging big data analytics, it highlights the multifaceted determinants of adolescent vulnerability in Indonesia, stressing the need for targeted interventions and policies to enhance their well-being.

“…Recommendations have been made to decentralize CAMH care services to primary healthcare facilities to establish a robust health system for CAMH services and build capacity even at the lowest level of health systems [ 23 – 25 ]. However, for this process to be effective and successful, it is crucial to enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of healthcare workers (HCWs) regarding CAMH [ 26 – 30 ]. In most SSA countries, HCWs can fall into several cadres but mostly include nurses, midwives, medical doctors, clinical officers, psychologists, social workers, and community health workers [ 12 ].…”

“…This translates to inadequate knowledge about CAMH and subsequent poor attitude and practices among this workforce [ 14 ]. HCWs’ knowledge of CAMH can be described as understanding CAMH concepts, the different CAMH disorders, their symptoms, causes, diagnostic criteria, and available treatment options [ 26 , 27 , 30 ]. Attitudes refer to the beliefs, opinions, and emotional responses of HCWs toward individuals with CAMH disorders [ 27 , 33 ].…”

Introduction Child and adolescent mental health is a global priority. In sub-Saharan Africa, despite the high burden, there is a gap in health services for children and adolescents with mental health disorders. To bridge this gap, healthcare workers require a good understanding of child and adolescent mental health, the right attitude, and practices geared to improving child and adolescent mental health. This scoping review examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to child and adolescent mental health among sub-Saharan African healthcare workers. Methods The search was restricted between January 2010, the year when the Mental Health Gap Action Programme guidelines were launched, and April 2024. The review followed the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley for conducting scoping reviews. The databases searched included CINHAL, PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and grey literature databases. Additional articles were identified through cited references of the studies included. A data extraction template was used to retrieve relevant text. A narrative synthesis approach was adopted to explore the relationships within and between the included studies. Results The literature search yielded 4658 studies. Among these, 817 were identified as duplicates, and 3740 were excluded after screening. Only twenty-one articles met the criteria for inclusion in the review. The findings showed that healthcare workers have insufficient knowledge of child and adolescent mental health, hold negative attitudes toward children and adolescents with mental health problems, and exhibit poor practices related to child and adolescent mental health. Conclusion It is crucial to build capacity and improve healthcare workers’ practices, knowledge, and attitudes toward child and adolescent mental health in sub-Saharan Africa. This could lead to better access to mental health services for children and adolescents in the region.
