Keywords:
Adolescent Mental Health, Socioeconomic Factors, Longitudinal Study, Inequality, InterventionAbstract
This study explores the relationship between socioeconomic factors and adolescent mental health through a longitudinal study approach. The backdrop is persistent mental health inequalities among adolescents from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which require in-depth understanding for more effective interventions. The objective was to identify the influence of socioeconomic factors on adolescents' mental health over time. The study method involved a sample of 500 adolescents with baseline data collection and follow-up every six months for two years, with longitudinal regression analysis to interpret the results. The results showed a significant relationship between socioeconomic factors and adolescent mental health, with implications for the development of interventions that address socioeconomic aspects. The findings support the need for holistic and targeted intervention programs to improve the mental well-being of adolescents from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
