Abstract:
Objective:To explore the association between incidence of injuries and health related behavior among middle school students in China, to provide evidence for injury prevention.
Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 067 students who were selected from Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces by using stratified random cluster sampling method. Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze incidence of injuries and health related behavior.
Results:The prevalence of self injury among middle school students in five provinces was 11.0%, the prevalence of intentional injury was 13.2%. Multiple Logistic regression analyses showed that attempting smoking, not eating breakfast every day, having a low mood more than 2 weeks in the past 6 months were positively correlated with self injury ( OR=3.02, 2.04, 4.30, P ＜0.01) after adjusting for region, and the smoking attempt behavior was positively correlated with intentional injury ( OR=2.03, P ＜0.05) after adjusting for region, urban and rural, residence condition, weekly allowance condition.
Conclusion:Smoking attempt behavior could be viewed as a shared predictor for both self injury and intentional injury behavior among middle school students, smoking control intervention should be carried out actively among students.
