Relocated adolescents experienced mild anxiety but showed no significant differences in depression or coping skills compared to non-relocated peers. School health promotion interventions may support this transition.

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Psychology
  • School Health
  • Sociological Transitions

Background:

  • Geographical relocation and school transfer are common adolescent experiences.
  • Adolescent developmental tasks can complicate relocation transitions, especially for those with poor coping skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effects of relocation on adolescent mental health and coping.
  • To identify implications for school nursing and health promotion interventions for relocated teens.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-year longitudinal study in a suburban Northeast community.
  • Compared 43 relocated adolescents with matched non-relocated controls.
  • Assessed anxiety, depression, hostility, life events, and coping strategies.

Main Results:

  • Relocated teens reported only mild anxiety.
  • No significant differences were found between groups for depression, hostility, life events, or coping.
  • Statistical significance was noted in group differences, though effect size appears small.

Conclusions:

  • Relocation appears to have a minimal negative impact on adolescent mental health and coping in this context.
  • Schools and school nurses can play a role in supporting relocated adolescents through health promotion.
  • Further research may explore specific protective factors or targeted interventions.
