为了加强和提高我们对如何接近切尔诺贝利周围年轻一代的理解，我们对居住在白俄罗斯戈梅尔地区的事故后出生的年轻人的心理健康状况进行了筛查。我们招收了697名事故后出生的医学生。参与者被要求回答包括一般健康问卷(GHQ-12)在内的自填式问卷。在所有697名受试者中，GHQ-12得分为1.80。当对混杂因素进行Logistic回归分析时，“经济状况”和“疾病和/或健康状况与辐射暴露的关系”与心理状况差显著相关。我们的发现表明，戈梅尔地区受过高等教育的医学生即使在事故发生后也对辐射暴露感到焦虑，这影响了他们糟糕的心理健康状况。

In order to step up and improve our understanding of how to approach the younger generation around Chernobyl, we screened mental health status among young adults born after the accident living in Gomel region, Belarus. We enrolled 697 medical students who were born after the accident. Participants were asked to answer to self-administered questionnaires including General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).GHQ-12 scores were 1.80 among all 697 subjects. When logistic regression analysis was performed with confounding factors, "economic situation" and "association of diseases and/or poor health condition with radiation exposure" was significantly associated with poor mental status. Our findings suggest that anxiety to radiation exposure among highly educated medical students in Gomel region who were born even after the accident affects to their poor mental health status.
