“…He discussed developing ecological research model focusing on the dynamic relationship among past traumatic experiences, continuous daily stressors, and background destruction of the core social psychological system [ 9 ]. Butterworth's research has shown that adolescents and young people have high psychological stress, but the utilization rate of treatment is very low [ 10 ]. Emma studied and compared parents' and children's reports on children's mental health to determine the relationship between parent-child differences and parents' psychological and attitude factors, and how parent-child differences are related to the use of professional services [ 11 ].…”

As people have become more aware in recent years, aerobic physical exercise plays an important role in alleviating people’s mental health problems. However, traditionally, it is believed that young children do not have mental health problems. To help people change this fixed idea, and to study how to correctly adjust the load intensity of aerobic physical exercise under the condition of limited physical fitness of young children, and accurately help children’s mental health development, this paper studies the influence of aerobic physical exercise load intensity on children’s mental health. In this paper, the detection and tracking technology of video moving objects is used to analyze the data of the research object. This technique includes several commonly used and improved video analysis algorithms. The use of moving target and tracking technology and algorithms can completely extract moving targets, eliminate the phenomenon of void and nothingness, and improve data acquisition and analysis capabilities. The results show that taking part in aerobic exercise with appropriate intensity is beneficial to regulating children’s emotional state, reducing their psychological burden, enhancing their negative energy resistance, and arousing their positive participation. Compared with before aerobic exercise, the learning efficiency was improved by 6.36%.

“…When considering this research on a broader scale, it is relevant to note that other westernized countries have similar issues pertaining to emerging adult healthcare access and use as Canada. For example, Australia’s mental healthcare system has been deemed complex, with supports received varying widely depending on the pathway in which a person enters the system ( 27 ). In addition, co-payments and other cost sharing policies may deter low socioeconomic households from accessing mental healthcare ( 28 ).…”

“…In addition, co-payments and other cost sharing policies may deter low socioeconomic households from accessing mental healthcare ( 28 ). There are also limited mental healthcare specialists in rural and remote areas of Australia, such that may create difficulties for rural residents to access services they need ( 27 , 29 ). Additionally, Saxby et al ( 30 ) determined that groups who experience prejudice and discrimination in Australia, such as sexual minorities, may have additional difficulties accessing mental healthcare.…”

IntroductionResearch into the mental healthcare of emerging adults (18–25) in Canada has been limited, despite this developmental period being widely considered a vulnerable time of life. As such, we aimed to identify the greatest barriers emerging adults faced in accessing mental healthcare in Canada, particularly in relation to the Canadian healthcare system which operates on a universal funding model but is challenged by funding shortfalls and a complex relationship to the provinces.MethodsWe systematically examined 28 pieces of literature, including academic and technical literature and publications from government organizations, focused on emerging adults and the Canadian mental healthcare system.ResultsFindings demonstrated that stigma, a lack of mental health knowledge, cost, and interpersonal factors (e.g., one’s parental, peer, and romantic supports demonstrating negative views toward mental healthcare may deter treatment; emerging adults demonstrating concerns that accessing mental healthcare may lead to peer rejection) acted as barriers to help-seeking in emerging adults. Additionally, a lack of national institutional cohesion and a lack of policy pertaining to emerging adult healthcare acted as barriers to adequate mental healthcare in this demographic.DiscussionImproving mental health education early in life shows promise at reducing many of the barriers emerging adults face in accessing mental healthcare. Further, policies directed at ensuring a cohesive national mental health system, as well as policies directly designed to care for emerging adult mental health needs, could act as the next steps toward ensuring an accessible and effective Canadian mental healthcare system that can serve as a model for other nations.

Student mental health and dropout from higher education: an analysis of Australian administrative data

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Understanding the drivers of student dropout from higher education has been a policy concern for several decades. However, the contributing role of certain factors—including student mental health—remains poorly understood. Furthermore, existing studies linking student mental health and university dropout are limited in both methodology and scope—for example, they often rely on small and/or non-representative samples or subjective measures, and focus almost exclusively on main effects. This paper overcomes many of these shortcomings by leveraging unique linked administrative data on the full population of domestic students commencing undergraduate studies at Australian universities between 2012 and 2015 (n = 652,139). Using these data, we document that approximately 15% of students drop out of university within their first academic year. Critically, students receiving treatment for mental health problems are 4.3 (adjusted) to 8.3 (unadjusted) percentage points more likely to drop out of higher education. This association remains in the presence of an encompassing set of potential confounds, and is remarkably uniform across segments of the student population determined by individual, family, and programme characteristics. Altogether, our findings call for increased policy efforts to improve student mental health and to buffer against its deleterious effects on retention.
