Scoping Review of School-Based Universal Mental Health Literacy Curricula for K-12 Education
PI: Jóhanna Birna Bjartmarsdóttir
Using an interdisciplinary team science approach to systematically examine the current state of the science on school-based mental health literacy and educational interventions, we aim to inform future creation of a standardized universal curriculum for school-based mental health promotion. The scoping review will include peer-reviewed articles in English published between 2013 and 2024, and focus on universal interventions in K-12 school settings. The research team prioritized studies done in different cultures and created the search string to include international research.
The research team consists of myself, Jóhanna Birna Bjartmarsdóttir, an online undergraduate student from Iceland majoring in education science and minoring in health promotion, Dr. Ragnhildur Bjarnadottir, an assistant professor at the College of Nursing at UF, Dr. Bergljót Gyða Guðmundsdóttir, an associate professor in education at the University of Iceland, and Dr. Brittany Kester, an education librarian at UF. The expertise of our research team makes this a cross-college and international project.
