Abstract ObjectiveTo explore the current profile of drowning related high risk behaviors among the floating children in Ningbo City and to identify the risk factors on these behaviors. MethodsA total of 7 600 students from grade 1-9 in eight urban migrant workers' children schools were recruited and surveyed by the questionnaires. And the logistic regression model was used for the analysis of risk factors. ResultsIn last one year, without adult supervision, the incidence rate of drowning related high risk behaviors was 27.53%. The results of multivariate logistic regression showed that males (OR=2.30,95%CI:1.99~2.65), senior grade (OR=1.23,95%CI:1.18~1.27), other juvenile companion on the way to schools (OR=1.26,95%CI:1.06~1.51), being able to swim (OR=2.09,95%CI:1.77~2.46) and there being the open water around school and home (OR=1.75,95%CI:1.52~2.00) could increase the incidence of drowning related high risk behaviors. And higher awareness of drowning prevention (OR=0.99,95%CI:0.98~0.99), higher rate of correct attitude (OR=0.99,95%CI:0.98~0.99), getting along well with schoolmates (OR=0.69,95%CI:0.51~0.95) and with family members (OR=0.33,95%CI:0.24~0.46) could reduce the incidence of drowning related high risk behaviors. ConclusionThe incidence rate of drowning related high risk behaviors was high among the floating children in Ningbo City, and males, being able to swim might increase the occurrence of high risk behaviors.
