Popis: The aim of the study was to review alexithymia in adolescents-related studies (AARS) published between 2004 (since the first public archive volume is available) and 2022 in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The present paper attempts to explain the increasing interest in alexithymia as shown by the large number of alexithymia-related studies (ARS) on this disorder, published in this journal, in the last six years, as well as by the forthcoming special issue ‘Alexithymia and Mental Health in Adolescents: Theory, Research and Clinical Practice’ of the same journal, with a scoping review approach. The participants were adolescents from 13 counties and 2 continents. Only two interventions were subjected to the study. The systematic literature review conducted observed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Literature Reviews and the Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. Twenty-nine ARS were selected, of which 17 are AARS. Results indicate that there is a great research interest in studying alexithymia, although IJERPH does not cover all research topics in the field.
