Abstract
Urbanicity is raising concern on mental health impact since 2000. The United Nations predict that the vast majority of the human population will live in urban rather than rural areas by 2030. Some previous studies have shown that urbanicity causes a negative impact on adults’ mental health as well as children’s, especially on emotional and behavioral problems. This chapter aims to discuss the impact of urbanicity on child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) in both lower-and middle-income and high-income countries. With regard to mental health strategy and policy, the PESTLE model for assessing opportunities and threats for the organization before planning mental health strategy in urban or rural areas will be discussed. Possible solutions to design appropriate child and adolescent mental health service in rural or urbanized areas will be proposed.
