Social support as a buffer against mental health problems among persistent truants: Evidence from a large‐scale population survey
Previous research has reported mental health disparities between truant and non‐truant adolescents. However, it remains unclear how social support is associated with mental health outcomes across different levels of truancy. We investigate whether social support has similar mental health benefits for all truant adolescents or whether it plays a buffering/moderating role when truancy becomes persistent. Using data from the 2021 Swedish Public Heal…
