Health monitoring of population residing in radio-ontaminated areas using novel monitoring devises.

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，我们对生活在白俄罗斯戈梅利地区的事故后出生的年轻人进行了心理健康状况筛查。我们招收了697名事故后出生的医学生。研究对象接受一般健康问卷（GHQ-12）等自填式问卷，697名被试的GHQ-12得分均为1.80。当对混杂因素进行逻辑回归分析时，“经济状况”和“疾病和/或不良健康状况与辐射照射的关联”与不良精神状况显著相关。我们的研究结果表明，在戈梅利地区受过高等教育的医学生中，即使在事故发生后出生，对辐射暴露的焦虑也会影响他们不良的心理健康状况。

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.
