The EARLY project aims to provide robust and representative data on youth mental health across the European region, and to design, implement, and evaluate evidence-based interventions. With 19 partners from 14 countries, the initiative is focused on addressing the critical issue of youth mental health in order to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases – particularly mental health conditions – among young people.
Using a mixed-methods approach, the project will develop a comprehensive exposure matrix, investigate perceptions around youth mental health, and generate high-quality data to inform future interventions.
