对185,000多名加利福尼亚儿童进行的一项研究发现,该流行病期间的面对面学校重新开放与心理健康的重大改善有关,9个月后,焦虑、抑郁症和其他状况的诊断下降了43%。 A study of over 185,000 California children found that in-person school reopenings during the pandemic were linked to significant mental health improvements, with diagnoses of anxiety, depression, and other conditions dropping by 43% nine months later. 精神保健支出也有所下降。 Mental health care spending also declined. 研究人员将这些收益归功于提供社会化、日常、情感支持和基本需求的学校。 Researchers attribute the gains to schools providing socialization, routine, emotional support, and basic needs. 虽然这项研究侧重于高收入地区,缺乏详细的种族或族裔数据,但女孩比男孩受益更大。 Girls showed greater benefits than boys, though the study focused on high-income areas and lacked detailed racial or ethnic data. 专家说,学校对于青年的福祉至关重要,特别是在目前心理健康挑战因与流行病有关的孤立和学术挫折而加剧的情况下。 Experts say schools are vital for youth well-being, especially amid ongoing mental health challenges exacerbated by pandemic-related isolation and academic setbacks.
