Abstract
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? High levels of mental well-being are linked to favorable life outcomes. Nonetheless, compared to the research on psychiatric disorders, the understanding of mental well-being among Chinese adolescents is still relatively underexplored. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? This report fills a significant void in the literature concerning the mental well-being of Chinese adolescents by providing updated data. This information is critical for developing evidence-based interventions and strategies aimed at improving mental well-being and addressing mental health issues among adolescents. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? Enhancing psychological support for vulnerable populations is essential to improve mental well-being among adolescents, reduce health disparities, and achieve global Sustainable Development Goals.
