Prevention and early intervention in youth mental health: is it time for a multidisciplinary and trans-diagnostic model for care?
Open accessAbstract
Background: Similar to other health care sectors, mental health has moved towards the secondary prevention, with the effort to detect and treat mental disorders as early as possible. However, converging evidence sheds new light on the potential of primary preventive and promotion strategies for mental health of young people. We aimed to reappraise such evidence. Methods: We reviewed the current state of knowledge on delivering promotion and preventive interventions addressing youth mental health. Results: Half of all mental disorders start by 14 years and are usually preceded by non-specific psychosocial disturbances potentially evolving in any major mental disorder and accounting for 45% of the global burden of disease across the 0–25 age span. While some action has been taken to promote the implementation of services dedicated to young people, mental health needs during this critical period are still largely unmet. This urges redesigning preventive strategies in a youth-focused multidisciplinary and trans-diagnostic framework which might early modify possible psychopathological trajectories. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that it would be unrealistic to consider promotion and prevention in mental health responsibility of mental health professionals alone. Integrated and multidisciplinary services are needed to increase the range of possible interventions and limit the risk of poor long-term outcome, with also potential benefits in terms of healthcare system costs. However, mental health professionals have the scientific, ethical, and moral responsibility to indicate the direction to all social, political, and other health care bodies involved in the process of meeting mental health needs during youth years.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This narrative review argues that youth mental health care should move beyond secondary prevention toward primary prevention and early intervention, using a trans-diagnostic clinical staging model and integrated multidisciplinary services for ages 0–25. It synthesizes evidence on risk factors, prevention stages, and service models to support a youth-focused framework.
Key findings
- Half of all mental disorders start by age 14, and mental health problems account for 45% of the global burden of disease across the 0–25 age span; up to 1 in 5 people experience clinically relevant mental health problems before age 25, with 50% already symptomatic by age 14.
- Childhood adversities are shared risk factors across disorders; a WHO survey of 51,945 adults in 21 countries estimated that eradicating childhood adversities would reduce any lifetime mental disorder by 29.8%, adolescence-onset disorders by 32.3%, and childhood-onset disorders by 38.2%.
- The paper proposes a trans-diagnostic clinical high-risk mental state (CHARMS) paradigm to intercept a wider range of lower-risk cases beyond ultra-high risk for psychosis, including sub-threshold bipolar and borderline personality symptoms and mild-moderate depression.
- Integrated youth services such as Headspace expanded from 10 to more than 110 centers, reaching about 100,000 young people per year, and models like MCPAP, MHSPY, Jigsaw, and Youth space show positive access, satisfaction, and functional outcomes, though long-term efficacy evidence remains limited.
Methods
- Narrative review with a literature search in MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus using terms describing risk factors, clinical staging, and multidisciplinary prevention and early interventions in youth mental health, with special attention to research from the past 25 years; some additional evidence was included if considered appropriate by all authors.
- Studies were eligible if they assessed preventing strategies in youth in a trans-diagnostic and multidisciplinary approach; exclusions were studies not applying a clinical staging model for youth mental health in a trans-diagnostic framework, not investigating youth mental health service provision in a multidisciplinary framework, or primarily assessing older populations.
- Main analysis was a narrative synthesis across the at-risk mental state concept, early-life psychosocial risk factors, prevention stages (promotion, universal/selective/indicated, secondary, tertiary), and integrated service models.
Limitations
- The paper does not state a limitations section. Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it lacks systematic review elements such as PRISMA reporting, full search strings, and formal quality appraisal, so selection and synthesis may be non-exhaustive.
- The paper itself notes evidence gaps: lack of studies assessing longer-term efficacy of collaborative care, especially in preventing poor outcome, treatment disengagement, and relapse; and absence of validated interventions to prevent multiple relapses.
- It also states that vertical and horizontal integration of the enhanced primary care model with more specialized and intensive services is not covered in this reappraisal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
