“…There were five research on mental health interventions, particularly in the setting of adolescents. Zakaria, Sasagawa, and Essau (2021) investigated the effects of a transdiagnostic CBT-based intervention (Super Skills for Life, SSL-A) on emotional issues among adolescents who used problematic drugs, as well as the demographic characteristics that influenced the intervention's effectiveness. In this study, 108 adolescents with problematic drug use and elevated levels of anxiety and depression were recruited from eight juvenile homes and reform schools.…”

Despite a rise in the prevalence of mental health concerns among adolescents worldwide, care access and engagement remain low, ranging from 20% to 45%. For the long-term improvement of adolescent well-being, it is crucial to address this issue and effectively engage adolescents in mental health services. Providing mental health services in place of acute health care facilities (such as inpatient psychiatric care, residential treatment centers, or specialized mental health clinics) is one of the effective strategies for addressing these issues. This study investigated the implementation and development of mental health services for adolescents in Malaysia, employing a qualitative design for the content analysis. Research data was collected through search engines such as Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Scopus, and others. Keywords such as "mental health issues in Malaysia, and "adolescent mental health programs" represented and reflected the core premise of this research. This study discovered three primary themes: the development of mental health services, the method of mental health intervention, and mental health and the COVID-19 pandemic. It was determined that there were research gaps concerning mental health programs in Malaysia. Thus, studies to bridge the gap may periodically examine mental health issues. It may dramatically alleviate mental health issues and lower the number of young people in the country with emotional disorders.

“…Further studies need to be conducted to replicate the results of the convergent validity and gender difference. Furthermore, the sample used in this study was not representative of all Malaysian adolescents as Malaysia is a country with a diverse culture [ 58 ]. Extended research is crucial, which can be carried out by increasing the number of participants and conducting a stratified sampling technique to address the diversity issue, which is important for verifying the psychometric properties of the Malay version of the ERQ-CA.…”

“…Studies of ER in the Malaysian population are mainly centered on adults [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ], and a Malay version of the ERQ which specifically targets adult samples has been developed [ 54 ]. While ER studies have been conducted among Malaysian adolescents [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ], they remain scarce, and it is difficult to draw a reasonable conclusion regarding the development of Malaysian adolescents’ ER. Therefore, this study also hopes to contribute to future studies on understanding emotional regulation among adolescents in Malaysia.…”

The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) has been translated and adapted globally. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Malay version of the ERQ-CA. The Malay version of the ERQ-CA underwent forward and back translation twice and was tested in two separate studies, Study 1 and Study 2, with 296 and 359 students aged between 13 and 14 years old, respectively. Cronbach’s alpha values were calculated, and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The results from Study 1 demonstrate good internal consistency for cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The results indicate a good factor loading for most of the items, but only one value of the goodness-of-fit met the criteria for a good fit. The results from Study 2 show improvements in the values of the goodness-of-fit that are comparable to previous studies, but there was a decrease in the factor loading scores. Overall, the Malay version of the ERQ-CA possesses acceptable reliability and validity. Further studies are required in the near future to develop a Malay version of the ERQ-CA that reasonably represents Malaysian adolescents.
