Behavioral Problems in Childhood and Adolescence
This special issue belongs to the section "Health Behavior, Chronic Disease and Health Promotion".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasingly, behavioral problems are appearing at early ages (childhood and adolescence), stages at which an individual begins their personal, social and psychological development. The characteristics of development during childhood and adolescence are the result of the child's interaction with their family, friends, school and environment, so the detection, prevention and treatment of these behavioral problems are fundamental, helping families and professionals in both health and education to better manage the development of children at this stage.
This Special Issue seeks research articles on behavioral problems during childhood and adolescence, in the school, family, social or health environment. We especially encourage the presentation of interdisciplinary works and multinational collaborative research. We also encourage the submission of manuscripts that focus on issues related to behavioral problems during childhood and adolescence and related topics. We welcome original research articles using different study designs, as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
