城市化为儿童和家庭提供了独特的政治、文化、经济和教育机会。然而，它也可能对儿童和青少年的心理健康和福祉产生负面影响，特别是当他们暴露在犯罪率高的环境中时，暴力，少年犯罪，药物使用，滥用和贫困。心理学家非常适合干预与城市化有关的问题。然而，大多数心理服务都是针对那些正在经历问题的儿童，而较少关注以人口为基础的或先发制人的干预措施，以防止问题发生。本综述提出了11项城市干预建议，这些建议建立在个人、家庭和社区的力量之上，以促进城市儿童和青少年的心理健康和福祉。
Urbanization provides unique political, cultural, economic, and educational opportunities for children and families. However, it may also have a negative impact on the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents, particularly when they are exposed to settings with high rates of crime, violence, delinquency, substance use, abuse, and poverty. Psychologists are well suited to intervene in problems associated with urbanization. However, most psychological services have been directed toward children who are experiencing problems, and there has been less focus on population-based or preemptive interventions that prevent problems before they occur. This review presents 11 recommendations for urban interventions that build on individual, family, and community strengths to promote the mental health and well-being or urban children and adolescents.
