Abstract

AbstractThis study performed a repeated cross-sectional analysis to explore possible trends in mental health problems among Chinese adolescents during 2016 to 2020. A total of 2837 seventh-grade students from Changsha city were surveyed in three waves in 2016, 2019 and 2020. The results showed that obsessive-compulsive tendencies, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, academic stress and emotional disturbance problems were significantly increased in surveyed adolescents during 2016 to 2020. Moreover, positive rates of most of these problems were higher in females than males, and were significantly increased in only females. These results highlight the importance of focusing on mental health among Chinese adolescents, especially girls.
