The Depression Self-rating Scale for Children (DSRSC) and Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) were used to assess the mental health status, while the dissatisfaction of school life was evaluated by the School Life Satisfaction Rating Questionnaire for Adolescent (SLRQA), and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression models.
