Mental Health Outcomes Among Homeschooled and Traditionally Schooled Adolescents in Egypt (Ages 12–18): A Cross-Sectional Study
Female adolescents exhibited significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to males, while the educational setting was not found to be significantly associated with mental health outcomes. Future studies with larger and more balanced samples, and preferably longitudinal designs, are recommended to further explore causal relationships and enhance generalizability across diverse educational contexts in Egypt and the wider Arab region.
