Objective:To explore the relation of new-type drug using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress in secondary vocational school students.Methods:A total of 2692 secondary vocational school students in Zhaoqing,Guangdong Province were selected.The questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention,General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES),and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were respectively used to assess the secondary vocational school students'new-type drugs using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress.Path analysis model was used to analyze the relationship of new-type drugs using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress among secondary vocational school students.Results:There were 13.6% (295/2165) of the secondary vocational school students reported an intention to use new-type drugs.The total scores of GSES and PSS were (2.4 ±0.5) and (18.8 ±5.0),respectively.The results of path analysis showed that,after controlling for age,gender,and residence,the scores of GSES were negatively correlated with the scores of PSS (γ =-0.21,P <0.001),and the scores of PSS were positively correlated with the scores of questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention (γ =0.05,P < 0.05).However,the scores of GSES showed no significant direct correlation with the scores of questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention (γ =0.04,P > 0.05).Conclusion:The secondary vocational school students' level of perceived stress are positively correlated with their intention to use new-type drugs.Self-efficacy might moderate the individual's level of perceived stress,thus to show indirect correlation to the secondary vocational school students' intention.

Objective:
To explore the prevalence of health risk behaviors and the association between locus of control and health risk behaviors among college students, and to provide reference for the formulation of health risk behavior intervention for college students.
Methods:
A multi stage cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 provinces from the east, central and west regions of China, respectively. Two universities were then randomly selected from each selected province. A total of 3 951 college students from 12 universities completed the electronic and anonymous questionnaires, which included demographic characteristics, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Questionnaire (MHLC) and Health Risk Behaviors Questionnaire. Chi square test and binary Logistic regression were applied to analyze data.
Results:
Totally 2 287(57.88%) students reported having three or more kinds of health risk behaviors. The prevalence of excessive screen time, insufficient physical exercise, poor eating behaviors, drinking and smoking were 97.34%(3 846), 74.72%(2 952), 72.21%(2 853), 13.62%(538) and 5.57%(220). Internal locus of control was associated with lower risk of three or more kinds of health risk behavior ( OR =0.98) and inadequate physical activity ( OR =0.93) and associated with higher risk of smoking ( OR =1.07). The powerful others was associated with lower risk of three or more kinds of health risk behavior ( OR =0.98), drinking ( OR =0.95) and unhealthy eating behavior ( OR =0.97). And the chance was associated with higher risk of three or more kinds of health risk behavior ( OR = 1.04 ), drinking ( OR =1.04) and inadequate physical activity ( OR =1.03)( P <0.01).
Conclusion
College students have serious health risk behavior problems, the locus of control is associated with health risk behaviors among college students. Which might be helpful to prevent the occurrence of health risk behaviors, and improve overall health of college students.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of suicidal ideation and the effects of daily stress and positive mental health on suicidal ideation among college freshmen in Wuhan. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for mental health improvement and suicide prevention among college students from the perspective of positive psychology.
Methods:
In December 2020, a convenient sampling method was used to select 2 592 freshmen from three universities in Wuhan. Demographic information, suicidal ideation, positive mental health, and daily stress were assessed. T test and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the status and influencing factors of suicidal ideation among college freshmen.
Results:
The one year prevalence of suicidal ideation was 27.5%. Freshmen with suicidal ideation had higher daily stress scores and daily stress scores in different domains than freshmen without suicidal ideation( t =-13.00--4.68), the positive mental health scores of freshmen with suicidal ideation were lower than freshmen without suicidal ideation ( t =17.14, P <0.01). Female ( OR=1.72, 95%CI =1.44-2.05), the higher education level of the mother (OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.05-1.53) and total experience of daily stress ( OR=1.11, 95%CI =1.09- 1.13 ) were associated with risk of oneyear suicidal ideation. Positive mental health was negatively associated with suicidal ideation ( OR=0.88, 95%CI=0.87-0.90, P <0.01) and had a moderating effect on the association between daily stress and suicidal ideation.
Conclusion
Suicidal ideation among college freshmen is closely related to daily stress and positive mental health. It is necessary to pay close attention to daily stress of freshmen and reduce suicidal ideation by improving positive mental health.
