Emerging Health Issues in Global Youth

Dear Colleagues,

The health issues of youth development broadly involve cognitive, mental, psychosocial, behavioral, educational, and physical aspects, which have long been a profound and meaningful concern of scholars and researchers of youth studies. Due to the recent drastic and radical changes of socio-political, cultural, economic, ethnic, societal, and family development globally, the health issues of youth development are undergoing intense challenges. Theoretically and practically, if youths’ health issues cannot be scrutinized and comprehended deeply and clearly, the social world of future generations will suffer, and the continuity and inheritance of human knowledge and dignity may also be undermined. This Special Issue welcomes high-quality contributions addressing the health issues related to youth development, and potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Adolescence and behaviour
• Cognitive development
• Coping strategies
• Emotional regulation and health
• Psychosocial and physical health
• Educational development
• Emerging adulthood
• Interpersonal interactions
• Parent–youth relationships
• Mental health
• Youth–adult transition
• Youth development
• Social participation
• Social support
• Wellbeing
