摘要
Social learning experiences developed through engagement in community cultural activities can affect a child's development. Few studies have examined how children's engagement in community activities is related to their mental health. This study aimed to examine associations between children's participation in community cultural activities and their mental health. We targeted all sixth-grade children in all 69 primary schools in Adachi City, Tokyo, using the Adachi Child Health Impact of Living Difficulty (A-CHILD) study (n = 4391). Parents answered the validated Japanese version of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) to assess child mental health, the child's engagement in community cultural activities. The community activity in which children most frequently participated was local festivals. Participating in local festivals was significantly associated with lower behavioral difficulties (beta = -0.49, SE = 0.17, p = 0.005) and higher prosocial behaviors (beta = 0.25, SE = 0.07, p < 0.001) after adjusting for demographic variables, family social capital, and parent-child interactions. These results highlight the importance of children's engagement in community cultural activities for their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
