Design

A cross-sectional study.

Setting

The participants were recruited from grades 3-6 in six primary schools in Tianmen, a city of Hubei Province, China.

Participants

A total of 5679 students were recruited. After excluding children with visual and auditory dysfunction or psychiatric diseases or with a response rate on the scales or questionnaires of less than 90%, 5352 children were finally included in the analysis.
