Background: With the economic and social transformations, depression and anxiety disorders are presenting an increasingly common trend globally, becoming a widely addressed issue in mental health. Research has shown that livable natural environments and high-quality social interactions can influence residents’ psychological health and happiness. However, Studies on Whether residents’ perception of the environment affects depression and anxiety, and the underlying mechanisms are remained limited. Methods: This study relies on Health Life Satisfaction Survey of Yangtze River Phase II Delta (HLSSYRD II), collected during waves spanning 2021 and 2023. The primary objective is to examine the relationship between environmental perception, social interaction, and degree of depression and anxiety of individuals. Linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 1752 observations were included in this paper. The “Depression and Anxiety (HAD)” variable has a mean score of 26.01 (SE = 6.99), with “Depression” scoring at 13.15 (SE = 3.78) and “Anxiety” scoring at 12.85 (SE = 3.75) among individuals in YRDC. There is a strong negative correlation between depression, anxiety and environmental perception (β = -0.187, SE = 0.03, p < 0.001; β = -0.152, SE = 0.03, p < 0.001). Moreover, there was significant mediating effects of social interaction in the association between environmental perception and HAD. In addition, gender, chronic disease，marital status, occupation, education level, monthly personal income were associated with depression and anxiety. Conclusions: Individuals with worse environmental perception have more possibility to develop depressive and anxiety symptoms than those with better environmental perception YRDC, and such a relationship can be partly mediated by social interaction.

IntroductionPerceived social support plays a crucial role in adolescent development, health, well-being, and resilience. Understanding the factors associated with perceived social support among adolescents is essential for designing effective interventions. However, research in this area, particularly within specific contexts, remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors associated with perceived social support among adolescents in the Gamo Zone, South Ethiopia Regional State.MethodA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 1172 adolescents selected through a stratified multi-stage sampling method. Structured face-to-face interviews were employed for data collection. Summary statistics were utilized for data presentation. Multiple linear regressions were then performed to identify factors associated with perceived social support. The strength and direction of associations were presented using β coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The level of statistical significance was set at alpha 5%.ResultThe total mean for perceived social support among adolescents was 57.02 ± 12.68. Adolescents living with their biological parents reported significantly higher levels of perceived social support (β = 4.17, 95% CI: 2.00 to 6.34) compared to their counterparts. Similarly, adolescents engaged in paid work within the last 12 months reported higher perceived social support (β = 3.43, 95% CI: 1.39 to 5.46). Higher levels of parental monitoring were also associated with increased perceived social support (β = 3.03, 95% CI: 1.23 to 4.82). Additionally, adolescents who perceived risks for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) problems reported higher levels of perceived social support (β = 2.76, 95% CI: 0.84 to 4.69). Moreover, adolescents with good knowledge about SRH rights exhibited increased perceived social support (β = 2.46, 95% CI: 0.89 to 4.02). Furthermore, adolescents residing in rural areas reported higher levels of perceived social support compared to those in urban areas (β = 1.56, 95% CI: 0.16 to 3.11).ConclusionThe findings of this study reveal that factors such as living arrangements, employment status, parental monitoring, perceived risks for SRH problems, knowledge about SRH rights, and geographical context emerged as important predictors of perceived social support. Therefore, implementing interventions and initiatives to address these identified factors holds promise for nurturing resilient adolescent social support networks.
