children and adolescents aged 11-17 years.Epidata 3.02 was used for data entry.SPSS 17.0 was used for analysis of variance and chi-square analysis.Results: 1.A total of 589 children and adolescents aged 11-17 years were surveyed and the effective questionnaire 513(83.2%)was obtained.Among them,63% were boys and 37% were girls.There were 224 children aged 11-13(43.6%),256 children aged 14-15(49.9%),and 33 children aged 16-17(6.5%).The interview method adopted the method developed by the Russian scholar E.N.Volkov.The results of the interview divided children and adolescents into three groups based on three levels of violence: children are often exposed to violence,children are rarely exposed to violence,and no violence is reported.Results show: Participation in surveys among 513 children,166(32.4%)children did not abused violence,102(19.9%)children rarely abused violence,and 245(47.8%)children often abused violence.2.Analysis of the basic characteristics of violence experienced by children and adolescents: The basic characteristics of violence experienced by children were statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test.Gender differences were statistically significant(p<0.001).Boys suffered more violence than girls.The difference in housing conditions among the three groups of children and adolescents was statistically significant(p<0.001).Children and adolescents living in Mongolianyurts are at higher risk of violence.However,there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups of children and adolescents in terms of age and area of study.3.The situation of children suffering from violent families: A questionnaire survey was conducted on children and adolescents who suffered violence(n=347).The results showed that: adolescents who suffered rarely violence accounted for 29.4%,and children and adolescents who often suffered violence accounted for 70.6%.Using Chi-square for statistical analysis to investigate the main abuser,the results show: Children and adolescents who rarely suffered violence are significantly different from those who are often suffered violence(p=0.021).Two groups of children and adolescents were violently abused by their fathers more than their mothers and others.A survey of the nature of violence by children in adolescents was conducted.Among children studied,children and adolescents who rarely suffered violence were found to have a statistically significant difference in the nature of violence(p = 0.042).Children and adolescents who are frequently exposed to violence experience more physical and psychological violence than children and adolescents who rarely suffer violence.To investigate whether or not violence has been reported to others and seek psychological comfort.The results showed that 58.9% of children and adolescents who were rarely exposed to violence had not informed others.49.0% of children and adolescents who were frequently exposed to violence had not informed others.There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in this issue.4.All aspects of the SDQ questionnaire and the total difficulty scores: A comparison of normal,abnormal,and average differences in all aspects of the SDQ among the three groups of people who did not experience domestic violence,rarely suffered domestic violence,and frequently suffered domestic violence.The results were: Three groups of children had emotional problems(p=0.023),conduct problems(p=0.015),hyperactivity deficits(p=0.041),peer interaction problems(p=0.001),social behavior problems(p=0.001),There is a statistically significant difference in the total difficulty(p<0.001).Frequent experiences of violence among children and adolescents have a high proportion of emotional problems,conduct problems,hyperactivity deficits,and peer interaction problems.According to compared the analysis of variance of the children and adolescent's SDQ scores with different genders,the results showed that: From the perspective of SDQ emotional problems,male children and adolescents scored(5.68±1.23),female children and adolescents scored(6.82±2.42),the gender difference was statistically significant(F=10.993,P=0.001).The emotional problems of female children and adolescents were more serious.In terms of scores on hyperactivity and attention deficits,male children and adolescents scored(4.35±2.65),Female children and adolescents scored(6.12±1.84).There was a statistically significant difference between genders(F=6.551,P=0.032).Female children and adolescents had more serious attention deficits.In terms of scores on social behavior issues,male children and adolescents scored(5.45±2.11).Femalechildren and adolescents scored(5.51±1.52),and there was a statistically significant difference in gender(F=13.989,P<0.001).Male children and adolescents have more serious social problems.According to the comparative analysis of SDQ scores of children suffering varying degrees of domestic violence,the results showed that there were statistically significant differences among the three groups of children in terms of emotional problems,conduct problems,and peer interaction issues.The problem of children and adolescents whom often exposed to violence is more serious with respect to emotional problems,conduct problems,and peer interaction issues.Conclusion: This study shows that domestic violence has a serious impact on the mental health of children and adolescents.Children and adolescents suffering from more severe violence are prone to emotional problems,conduct problems,and peer interaction issues.We are faced with how to solve domestic violence,how to improve parental responsibilities and obligations,how to improve child and adolescent cultivation,and how to understand social responsibility.Based on the investigation and research work,a detailed investigation and analysis can be conducted on the mental health of children
