Abstract
We investigated changes in mental health from middle to late adolescence in 9065 participants of the UK Millennium Cohort Study. Results showed that being female and having parents with lower educational level predicted internalizing symptoms in late adolescence. Coming from ethnic minority backgrounds predicted fewer emotional symptoms at age 17.
