辍学对个人和社会都有重大影响。在墨西哥，只有21%的成年人达到了相当于高中的教育水平。我们在墨西哥城郊区的一所中学调查了辍学与自我报告的精神症状之间的关系。我们使用二项逻辑回归来检验辍学与学生自述精神病理的比值比（OR）。237名学生参加了这项研究。精神病[OR = 8.0(95%可信区间，CI: 1.7-37.2)]、抑郁症[OR = 4.7 (95% CI: 2.2-9.7)]、抽动障碍[OR = 3.7 (95% CI: 1.4-9.5)]、多动症[OR = 3.2 (95% CI: 1.5-6.4)]和社交恐惧症[OR = 2.6 (95% CI: 1.2-5.8)]在控制年龄和性别作为共变量后与辍学风险增加相关。我们的研究表明，墨西哥学生自我报告的精神病理与辍学率的增加有关。多动症和抑郁症可能是公共卫生干预中特别有用的儿童精神疾病，因为它们解释了儿童精神疾病中辍学的最大差异。
School dropout has significant consequences for both individuals and societies. Only 21% of adults in Mexico achieve the equivalent of a high school education. We examined the relationship between school dropout and self-reported psychiatric symptoms in a middle school in a suburb of Mexico City. We used binomial logistic regression to examine the odds ratio (OR) of school dropout associated with students’ self-reported psychopathology. Two-hundred thirty-seven students participated in the study. Psychosis [OR = 8.0 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.7–37.2)], depression [OR = 4.7 (95% CI: 2.2–9.7)], tic disorders [OR = 3.7 (95% CI: 1.4–9.5)], ADHD [OR = 3.2 (95% CI: 1.5–6.4)], and social phobia [OR = 2.6 (95% CI: 1.2–5.8)] were associated with increased risk of school dropout after controlling for age and gender as covariates. Our study suggested that students’ self-reported psychopathology is associated with increased school dropout in Mexico. ADHD and depression may be particularly useful childhood psychiatric disorders to target with public health interventions because they explain the greatest amount of the variance in school dropout of child psychiatric disorders.
