Adolescent girls’ explanations of high rates of low mood and anxiety in their population: a co-produced qualitative study
The study offers a critically important contribution to evidence on gendered inequalities in low mood and anxiety, drawing attention to the interwoven and complex nature of girls' lives and illuminating various aspects that would benefit from greater research. The insights gained through exploration with girls themselves hold policy and practical relevance to enhance systems to meet girls' needs.
