Systematic review of 52 studies plus a survey of 1,869 students across four countries and 430,000 youth participation records yields a Youth Mental Health Risk Assessment Framework that maps factors→pathways→observations, reporting 468 findings (132 sources) and 41 GenAI-specific relationships. Key claims: higher cyber risk awareness correlates with fewer adverse experiences; 72% of US teens report AI companionship and 20% use AI for mental health advice. Prototype components include a spreadsheet‑backed ML agent and a HackerRangers gamified system for school deployment.
