The Double-Edged Sword of Online Learning for Ethnoracial Differences in Adolescent Mental Health During Late Period of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States: National Survey

The Double-Edged Sword of Online Learning for Ethnoracial Differences in Adolescent Mental Health During Late Period of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States: National Survey

When US schools pivoted to online learning in March 2020 to curb the spread of SARS-Co V-2, concerns were raised about potentially harmful effects on children’s mental health [1,2]. Schools began returning to in-person learning in the fall of 2020, but adolescents and those from minoritized ethnoracial groups tended to remain in fully online learning [3-7], raising concerns about ethnoracial disparities in mental health.

A Web-Based Training Program for School Staff to Respond to Self-Harm: Design and Development of the Supportive Response to Self-Harm Program

Currently, there are no national-level UK policies outlining how schools should respond to self-harm, and it is up to each school to develop and implement their own policies. There are a few information resources available for schools about self-harm and how to respond [21-23], but the evidence base for these resources is currently lacking.

Using Digital Tools for Contact Tracing to Improve COVID-19 Safety in Schools: Qualitative Study Exploring Views and Experiences Among School Staff

Private companies have developed systems with the aim to assist schools and other businesses with contact tracing [19,20]; however, no studies so far have assessed their use for contact tracing within schools. A number of studies have aimed to investigate transmission models in schools and found that wireless sensors can more accurately identify close-proximity contacts of short durations compared to self-reported measures [21,22].
