Abstract

Health risk behaviors among adolescents could have negative health effect and impose huge economic and social burdens on society. Among the various health risk behaviors that could be intervened, the consequences of attempted suicide were extremely serious and deserved special attention. The prevalence of health risk behaviors during adolescence varied by country. This study aimed to evaluate the health risk behaviors among adolescents in China and Tanzania, which would promote the cooperation between the two countries in the field of health.
