Adolescent emotional responses and behaviors are often passed off as growth pangs and academic stress, thereby missing those that need deeper understanding and mental health interventions.
The aim of the study is to understand mental health status among the school adolescents in Tezpur, Assam.
The present study was a cross sectional study that used convenience sampling in selection of the schools. A total of 10 schools were selected for the purpose of the study. 1403 Adolescents were selected for data analysis. Socio-Demographic Performa and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [SDQ] were administered to the participants.
The results indicated that five predictors (gender, education, family type, academic performance, socio economic status in the family) explained 9.79% of the variance (F=5.040, P<0.000) in total difficulty levels: (Academic performance; β=0.08; t=3.15; P=0.002) and (Socio economic status; β=0.07, t=3.02, P=0.003).
In the study less than one tenth of the participants have some mental health issues and this calls for concern. Schools should have standing operation procedures in place to periodically screen adolescents for mental health related issues.
青少年的情绪反应和行为常常被视为成长的烦恼和学业压力，从而错过了那些需要更深入了解和心理健康干预的情况。
本研究旨在了解阿萨姆邦泰兹普尔地区学校青少年的心理健康状况。
本研究为横断面研究，采用便利抽样选择学校。共选择了 10 所学校进行研究。共有 1403 名青少年被选入数据分析。对参与者进行了社会人口统计学表现和长处与困难问卷（SDQ）的评估。
结果表明，五个预测因素（性别、教育、家庭类型、学业成绩、家庭的社会经济地位）解释了总困难程度的 9.79%的方差（F=5.040，P<0.000）：（学业成绩；β=0.08；t=3.15；P=0.002）和（社会经济地位；β=0.07，t=3.02，P=0.003）。
在研究中，不到十分之一的参与者存在一些心理健康问题，这令人担忧。学校应该制定常设操作程序，定期对青少年进行心理健康相关问题的筛查。
