Multivariate linear regression models were established to identify predictors of the SCL-90 scores.<h4>Results</h4>Mental health disorders were found in 8% of the respondents, with obsessive compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity and depression as the top three reported problems. Compared with the national population norms of university students in 2014, our study participants had higher scores in SCL-90. There were statistically significant difference in the Global Severity index (GSI) and all nine subscales scores (p<0.05). Poorer self-rated health, higher study pressure, and lower social support were significant predictors of higher SCL-90 scores (p<0.05) after adjustment for variations in other variables.<h4>Conclusions</h4>College students in Hubei, China may experience a range of different mental health problems, which are associated with their individual, study, and social circumstances.Xiaosheng LeiChaojie LiuHeng JiangPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 7, p e0254183 (2021)
