Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) welcomes submissions for a Special Issue focusing on “Recent Advances in Research on the Health of Adolescents and Children”.
IJERPH is a peer-reviewed scientific journal with a current impact factor (2020) of 3.390 (5-Year Impact Factor: 3.789) that publishes research articles and communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. More details about the journal can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph.
The Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Research on the Health of Adolescents and Children” is meant to show the recent trends in studying the health of adolescents and children. Such an overview is also necessary to nuance statements such as the following: “most children in the WHO European Region have a happy, healthy childhood and adolescence where they grow and develop into prosperous adults”. In this period of the life, identity is formulated, experimentations are made, and independence is developed. Furthermore, the inequality issue is relevant for children and adolescents. Inequality between and within all of the WHO’s Member States, unequal access to quality services, and maltreatment and unhealthy lifestyles are negatively affecting health among the most vulnerable groups in our societies—children and adolescents.
We are interested in topics such as, though not limited to:
- Factors influencing child and adolescent public health at various levels (individual, family, peers, society, etc.)
- Physical health, as well as mental health
- Quality of life, social participation
- Innovative interventions in the broad field of care and prevention
- The role of key stakeholders (e.g., children themselves, peers, parents, teachers)
- Various settings (e.g., home, school, neighborhood, care, communities)
- Organizational and/or policy changes
Researchers are invited to contribute novel work to be considered for publication in this Special Issue. Submissions should include original articles, critical reviews (systematic reviews or meta-analyses), or brief reports. Articles that focus on the above-mentioned key aspects, or that can be brought into a relationship with them, are welcomed. Additionally, articles that focus on underrepresented or disadvantaged communities are encouraged.
