The impact of area level mental health interventions on outcomes for secondary school pupils: Evidence from the HeadStart programme in England
In light of the dramatic rise in mental health disorders amongst adolescents seen in the past decade across the world, there is an urgent need for robust evidence on what works to combat this trend.
