Abstrakt: Objective: Newcomer youth experience health disparities in accessing behavioral health services. School-based mental health programming is proposed a potential solution to address these disparities. The present study uses a scoping review methodology to examine the state-of-the-art of the evidence base for school-based mental health programming for newcomer youth. Studies were categorized into a tiered typology using the framework established by the National Center for School Mental Health.
Methods: Several databases were examined as well as the results of one scoping and two systemic recent reviews.
Results: A total of 37 studies were included in the present analysis, over half from the last decade. Most studies were conducted in the United States and Europe, and most programs were focused on mental health promotion and wellness (Tier 1) or were multi-tiered. Programming for younger children, especially those in early childhood settings, were underrepresented.
Conclusions: While the literature is promising regarding programming for newcomer youth, particularly the advent of complex multi-tiered programming, many gaps still remain. For example, most programs do not provide information on how programming was adapted for different groups of newcomers with different cultural and contextual needs. Tier 1 programs lack theoretical foundations or theories of change in the design of programming. Further, more research is needed for a group with rising numbers across high- and middle-income countries, particularly for programming targeting early and middle childhood.
