Factors influencing the mental health of young people with disability in Australia: a systematic scoping review

Abstract

Objectives: Young Australians with disability experience poorer mental health than their non-disabled peers. Despite this, there is no synthesis of the factors influencing their mental health. To address this gap, we conducted a scoping review using the socio-ecological model to identify and synthesise these factors. Study design: A scoping review following JBI methodology and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA‐ScR). Data sources: Medline, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ERIC were searched for Australian peer-reviewed empirical studies published between January 2015 and April..
