“…One paper examined the association between clusters of a range of traditional risk behaviours (such as substance use) and newer risk behaviours (such as high social media use), and mental health ( Walsh et al, 2020 ). High social media use was one of the strongest predictors of low life satisfaction and high psychosomatic complaints.…”

This paper extracts, organises and summarises findings on adolescent mental health from a major international population study of young people using a scoping review methodology and applying a bio-ecological framework. Population data has been collected from more than 1.5 million adolescents over 37 years by the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children: WHO Cross-National (HBSC) Study. The paper reviews the contribution that this long standing study has made to our understanding of the individual, developmental, social, economic, cultural determinants of adolescent mental health by organising the findings of 104 empirical papers that met inclusion criteria, into individual, microsystem, mesosystem and macrosystem levels of the framework. Of these selected papers, 68 were based on national data and the other 36 were based on international data, from varying numbers of countries. Each paper was allocated to a system level in the bio-ecological framework according to the level of its primary focus. The majority (51 papers) investigate individual level determinants. A further 28 concentrate primarily on the microsystem level, 6 on the mesosystem level, and 29 on the macrosystem level. The paper identifies where there is evidence on the determinants of mental health, summarises what we have learned, and highlights research gaps. Implications for the future development of this population health study are discussed in terms of how it may continue to illuminate our understanding of adolescent mental health in a changing world and where new directions are required.

“…From the broad structural drivers of adolescent health, the next set of articles examines the mental health and well-being of adolescents in the HBSC study. Walsh et al [6] examine clusters of risk, including low social support, bullying, insufficient nutrition, sugary foods and drinks, substance use and early sex, physical health risk, and problematic social media use. Low social support and problematic social media use were the strongest predictors of low life satisfaction [6].…”

Low social support and problematic social media use were the strongest predictors of low life satisfaction [6]. Cosma et al [7] show small declines in mental well-being and increases in schoolwork pressure among adolescents, particularly in higher income countries.…”

“…Although social media use was examined by Walsh et al [6] as part of a cluster of risk behaviors, two articles in this supplement focus exclusively on social media use. Given the unprecedented rise of social media use among adolescents, an important contribution of the 2017e2018 HBSC relates to findings on social media use across countries.…”
