Mental health conditions, including among children and adolescents, are prevalent in the general population worldwide. Yet, much of our child and adolescent mental health research is not globally representative, with the vast majority of research conducted in samples in, and by researchers from, the United Kingdom and Western Europe, United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In this editorial, we highlight the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry as well-positioned to support and promote research on child and adolescent mental health conducted in globally diverse samples, by researchers from higher-, middle-, and lower-income countries that is representative of and generalizable to children and adolescents throughout the world.
