Objective To explore the negative life events of rural left-behind children and its relationship with health risk behavior. Method A total of 310 children, including 178 rural left-behind children and 132 rural non-left-behind children were surveyed by the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List (ASLEC) and the Adolescent Health Related Risky Behavior Inventory (AHRBI). Results 1) The rural left-behind children reported significantly more scores of negative life events in interpersonal relationship (F=12.695, P<0.001), punishment (F=8.306, P<0.01), loss (F=19.256, P<0.001)and health adaption (F=9.138, P<0.01), compared to rural non-left-behind children.2) Negative life events of rural left-behind children could predict 24% variance of their health risk behavior.The structural equation modeling fitting analysis was carried out:RMSEA=0.067, GFI=0.936, IFI=0.965, PGFI=0.579. Conclusion The rural left-behind children are the susceptible population of negative life events.Negative life event is an important risk factor of health risk behavior of rural left-behind children.
