As part of our ongoing work in school mental health promotion, the Canadian Association for School Health has cooperated with the International School Health Network to prepare a preliminary listing of systematic reviews in school mental health promotion. A summary version of this report has been included in the winter 2012 issue of Knowledge Matters, our quarterly newsletter. Here is a link to the full 90 page report.

This listing of systematic reviews, meta-analyses and research reports has been developed from our regular visits to several web sites devoted to knowledge management and knowledge exchange about better practices in health promotion as well as some selected web sites focused on mental health of school mental health. These include:

· www.health-evidence.ca
· New Zealand Health Technology Assessment
· Health Technology Assessment (UK)
· National Institute on Clinical Excellence (UK)
· Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (UK)
· The Guide to Community Prevention Services (USA)
· Cochrane Library (Database of Systematic Reviews)
· IWK Health Centre, Dalhousie University, Canada (Sun Life Chair in Adolescent Mental Health)
· Collaborative on Academic, Social & Emotional Learning (United States)
· Canadian Best Practices Portal (Interventions Linked with Systematic Reviews)

These reviews were all posted in the extensive School Mental Health Bibliographt/Toolbox which is maintained as part of the World Encyclopedia on School Health, Safety, Equity, Social and Sustainable Development. This wiki-based toolbox is being developed as a joint resource by several knowledge centres around the world which are devoted to school mental health promotion. This listing is updated from a regular monitoring of over 175 research journals, over 75 media outlets and over 75 social media sources that are posted in a Twitter account devoted to School Mental Health by the International School Health Network. The World Encyclopedia uses an outline for these bibliographies/toolboxes that has evolved over the four years of its operation. This outline provides a comprehensive way of collection research, resources and reports in a systematic way.
