Explore the occurrence and influencing factors of new psychoactive substance misuse among young adults and adolescents; 2. Construct a risk prediction model for new psychoactive substance misuse among young adults and adolescents and conduct internal verification of the model; 3. Based on the results of the prediction model, select the optimal model to initially form a concise scale "Screening Tool for the Risk of New Psychoactive Substance Misuse among Young Adults and Adolescents"; 4. Conduct external verification of the tool, and revise and improve the screening tool, form the final version of the screening tool, and verify the application performance of the screening tool.
