A comprehensive and practical guide to understanding the links between mental health and school attendance in children and young people.
The interface between mental health and schools has become a major focus of policy and practice. School attendance is important and impacts a range of outcomes, from academic performance, to children and young people's mental health. In this book, experts from the education and mental health sectors have collaborated to produce a practical guide to mental health and attendance at school that will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners across this inter-disciplinary field. The book covers topics such as the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, terminology and socio-political considerations, school attendance problems in relation to emotional, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders, special educational needs, school factors and influences and attendance of vulnerable children. Its aim is to offer practical advice and key information to practitioners from both clinical and educational sectors so that they can work more effectively to enable children and young people to thrive.
This case study reports a systematic review that was conducted as part of a PhD project, which investigated the association between child and adolescent emotional disorder (anxiety/depression) and poor attendance at school. The case study begins with an overview of systematic review methods and some of the benefits of using this method both within the field of medicine broadly, and specifically within the context of a PhD project. I discuss and provide examples of some of the key steps and decisions taken during the design of the systematic review, including what types of studies to include, what population to investigate, what variables to examine, where and how to search for studies, how to screen studies, how to extract data and assess the quality of studies, and how to synthesize the evidence. The case study includes discussion of some of the practicalities of conducting a systematic review, and as well as some of the challenges that were experienced during the process. I finish by providing some practical lessons learned and advice for those about to embark on a systematic review.
When used in tandem, systematic reviews and meta-analysis-- two distinct but highly compatible approaches to research synthesis-- form a powerful, scientific approach to analyzing previous studies. But to see their full potential, a social work researcher must be versed in the foundational processes underlying them. This pocket guide to Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis illuminates precisely that practical groundwork. In clear, step-by-step terms, the authors explain how to format topics, locate and screen studies, extract and assess data, pool effect sizes, determine bias, and interpret the results, showing readers how to combine reviewing and meta-analysis correctly and effectively. Each chapter contains vivid social work examples and concludes with a concise summary and notes on further reading, while the book's glossary and handy checklists and sample search and data extraction forms maximize the boo'ks usefulness. Highlighting the concepts necessary to understand, critique, and conduct research synthesis, this brief and highly readable introduction is a terrific resource for students and researchers alike.
