Abstract

This review discussed analyzing information dissemination and activities related to mental health conducted by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), considering their application in Japan, and disseminating them to the public is necessary for the Japanese New Center for Health Control. The Japanese government also explores the Japanese New Center For Health Control in addressing children's mental health issues potentially under the Japan health crisis. The findings underscore the urgency of prioritizing children's mental health and implementing effective strategies to mitigate the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
