ABSTRACT The aim of this investigation was to assess the prevalence and correlates of psychological distress among adolescents Afghanistan. Cross-sectional 2014 ‘Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS)’ data included 2579 students that were representative of all students in Grades 7 to 11 in Afghanistan. The prevalence of single psychological distress was 28.4% and multiple psychological distress 27.7%. In adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis, being female, ever cannabis and/or amphetamine use, bullying victimization and injury were associated with both single and multiple psychological distress. In addition, in unadjusted analysis, the experience of hunger, current tobacco use, secondary smoke, having been attacked, and truancy were positively and attending physical education classes was negatively associated with single and/or multiple psychological distress. High prevalence of psychological distress was observed and several risk factors identified that can facilitate intervention strategies.

阿富汗在校青少年的高度心理困扰：患病率及国家调查的相关性

摘要这项研究的目的是评估阿富汗青少年心理困扰的患病率及其相关性。2014年横断面“全球基于学校的健康调查（GSHS）”数据包括2579名学生，这些学生代表了阿富汗所有7至11年级的学生。单一心理困扰的患病率为28.4％，多重心理困扰的患病率为27.7％。在调整后的多项逻辑回归分析中，女性，曾经吸食大麻和/或安非他明，欺凌受害和伤害与一次或多次心理困扰有关。此外，未经调整的分析表明，饥饿，目前的烟草使用，二手烟受到了攻击，和逃学是积极的，参加体育课与单身和/或多重心理困扰负相关。观察到心理困扰的患病率很高，并且确定了一些有助于干预策略的危险因素。
