了解青年心理健康需求和发展服务提供模式是国家公共卫生面临的挑战。在印度班加罗尔的一所大学预科学院，对1087名青年的情绪和行为问题的发生率和预测因素进行了评估。还审查了通过使用不同的截止点确定的扰动率的变化。优势和困难问卷被用作自我报告筛选工具。结果表明，10.1%的青少年有总的困难水平在异常范围内，9%的风险为情绪症状，13%的行为问题，12.6%的多动症/注意力不集中和9.4%的同伴问题。存在选择性性别差异。从样本中得出的截止分数比公布的截止值产生了更低的干扰估计。回归分析确定了总难度水平的预测因素。评估青年心理健康和规划有针对性的服务，在教育机构的影响进行了讨论。
The understanding of youth mental health needs and development of service delivery models is a national public health challenge. The rates and predictors of emotional and behavioral problems among 1087 youth were assessed in a pre-university college in Bangalore, India. Variations in rates of disturbance, identified by using different cut-off points, were also examined. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used as a self-report screening tool. Results indicated that 10.1% of adolescents had total difficulty levels in the abnormal range, with 9% at risk for emotional symptoms, 13% for conduct problems, 12.6% for hyperactivity/inattention and 9.4% for peer problems. Select gender differences were present. Cut-off scores derived from the sample yielded lower estimates of disturbance than the published cut-offs. Regression analysis identified predictors of total difficulty levels. Implications for assessment of youth mental health and planning targeted services in educational institutions are discussed.
