Introduction – Adolescence is a period during which personal, family, social, and structural factors can influence mental health. Mental health is defined as a “state of well-being that enables us to cope with life’s stresses, realize our potential, learn and work effectively, and contribute to the life of the community,” according to the World Health Organization (WHO).Method – This article presents data from the 2023 National Survey of Adolescents in Middle and High Schools on Health and Substance Use (Enclass) in Guadeloupe. Students from 6th grade through 12th grade were surveyed on various aspects of their health and life experiences. Results – In 2023, 2,084 students enrolled in schools in Guadeloupe participated in Enclass. The majority of middle and high school students reported being in good or even excellent health (81% and 74%, respectively) and indicated that they had a positive perception of their current lives. However, a good level of mental well-being was reported by only 56% of middle school students and 48% of high school students. A significant risk of depression was observed in 17% of 8th and 9th graders and 16% of high school students. One-quarter of high school students reported suicidal thoughts during the 12 months preceding the survey, and 17% of high school students reported a suicide attempt at some point in their lives. Overall, girls appeared more vulnerable than boys in terms of mental health.Conclusion – The data reveal that most students enrolled in Guadeloupe in 2023 reported being in excellent or good health and were generally satisfied with their lives. However, regarding their reported mental well-being, the results are more concerning, particularly among girls. It appears necessary to create living environments conducive to young people’s development, to begin prevention efforts at an early age, to implement measures for the early identification of vulnerabilities, and to destigmatize mental health issues
