Abstract Introduction According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), 3 out of 10 adolescents report that they suffer violence in dating. In the Mexican case, 76% of adolescents between 15 and 17 years have suffered 17% sexual and 15% physical psychological violence. In 2019, Veracruz registered in the first place of feminicide in Mexico with a rate of 3.44 per 100 thousand women Methods A cross-sectional, prospective, observational and analytical study was carried out from December to February 2020. Middle-high school students from the Veracruz-Boca del Río region were included, who had a dating relationship and were excluded those who did not accept to participate. The CADRI test was applied to quantify “violence committed and victimization in dating”. Results 741 students were included. There was a prevalence of violence committed of 86.2% and victimization of 89.2%. Being a woman, having active sex life, relationships over 12 months, living in a rural area, having a history of physical, psychological and sexual violence in previous relationships, daily life and in your family were the main factors associated with the violence committed, highlighting physical violence in previous relationships (OR 7.36 95% CI 1.8-31.6) (p < 0.05). With regard to victimization, the associated factors were being a woman, having a relationship greater than 12 months, having suffered physical, psychological and sexual violence in the family, daily life and previous relationships, the main one being psychological violence (OR 7.1 IC95 % 2.5-19.8) in previous relationships, as well as sexual violence in everyday life (OR 6.0 IC95% 1.4-25.1) (p < 0.05.) Conclusions The violence generated and victimization share associated factors, the most important being women, having a history of physical, psychological and sexual violence in the family, daily life and previous relationships. Key messages Women suffer more aggressions at different stages of their lives, which may increase the risk to tolerate aggressions or be more aggressive or suffer mental health problems. We must study if the violence generated by women is a response to a previous aggression.

Approximately one in five adolescents experience mental health problems globally. However, studies on mental health problems in Chinese high school students are few. Therefore, this study examined the status and associated factors of mental health problems in high school students in China. A stratified two-stage cluster sampling procedure was adopted, leading to a final sample of 15,055 participants from 46 high schools in all 17 provincial cities of Henan province, China. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect the data. A mental health problems variable was assessed using the Mental Health Inventory of Middle School Students. The positive rate of mental health problems among high school students was 41.8%, with a male predominance (43.3% versus 40.2% in females; p < 0.01). The most frequent mental health problem was academic stress (58.9%). Higher grades, physical disease, chronic constipation, alcohol consumption, engagement in sexual behavior, residence on campus, and living in nonurban areas and with single-parent families were significantly associated with higher odds of having mental health problems (p < 0.05). We suggest that the prevention of mental health problems in high school students be strengthened, especially in students with physical illnesses, unhealthy behaviors, and single-parent families.
