The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is the most comprehensive set of standards promoting and protecting children’s interests. It can be utilized to create appropriate policies and legislation that enshrine the values identified in the UNCRC. In India, children have been considered only in the context of their family and were welfare recipients in the past, but more legislation has been enacted to protect and promote the child’s rights. A comparative review will help identify how the new legislation enacted after India ratified the UNCRC directly or indirectly addressed children’s mental health. Legislation enacted after 1992 with the search term “child” was identified in the Indian national portal for legislation. These were compared against specific articles of the UNCRC identified to have a direct or indirect bearing on children’s mental health. The review revealed that only 11 of the 32 legislation enacted after 1992 address different aspects of children’s mental health. Only three refer to the UNCRC in their preamble or content. Six of the 11 legislation addressed Article 24, while Article 32 and Article 34 were addressed in only one legislation each. Notably, most of the legislation is focused on child protection, while very few address the participation component of the guiding principles. The UNCRC is a valuable guide to creating a legal framework to support child rights. This review highlights the need to consider children’s mental health as a fundamental right and incorporate the principles into future Indian legislation.

The terms independent variables, covariates, confounding variables, and confounding by indication are often imprecisely used in the context of regression. Independent variables are the full set of variables whose influence on the outcome is studied. Covariates are the independent variables that are included not because they are of interest but because their influence on the outcome can be adjusted for, leaving a more precise understanding of how the single remaining independent variable influences the outcome. Confounding variables are variables that are associated with both independent variables and outcomes; so, the relationship identified between independent variables and outcomes may be due to the confounding variable rather than to the independent variable. Potential confounders should be identified, measured, and adjusted for in regression, just as other covariates are. Confounding by indication occurs when the presence of the independent variable is driven by the confounding variable. Confounding by indication is a special kind of confounding; a confounding variable is a special kind of covariate; and a covariate is a special kind of independent variable in regression analysis. These terms and concepts are explained with the help of examples.
