abstract="<b>Objective</b>  To understand the levels of awareness of drowning and high-risk behaviors in rural left behind and non-left behind in Shufu county, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and provide scientific evidence for the anti-drowning intervention in rural children.   <b>Methods</b>  By random cluster sampling, 2 townships in Shufu were randomly selected in December 2021 to conduct a questionnaire survey in student from grade 1 to grade 8 in all primary and middle schools. Non-conditional Logistic regression analysis and <i>χ</i><sup>2 </sup>test were used to analyze the risk factors associated with drowning.     <b>Results</b>  A total of 14 543 primary and middle school students were surveyed, and 14 543 questionnaires were distributed, all the questionnaires were returned. The incidence of high-risk behaviors associated with drowning was higher in left behind children than in non-left behind children (<i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=8.00, <i>P</i> <0.05). The proportion of introvert children in left behind children was higher than that in non-left behind children (<i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=100.250, <i>P</i> <0.001), and the left behind children usually got along poorly with parents (<i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=24.420, <i>P</i><0.001) and classmates (<i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=35.420, <i>P</i><0.001) compared with non-left-behind children. Open waters near school [odds ratio(<i>OR</i>)=1.218, 95% confidence interval (<i>CI</i>): 1.088-1.364), with open waters near home (<i>OR</i>=1.893, 95%<i>CI</i>: 1.704-2.102), being introvert, strong curiosity (<i>OR</i>=1.187, 95%<i>CI</i>: 1.048-1.345), getting along poorly with classmate (<i>OR</i>=2.596, 95%<i>CI</i>: 2.142-3.146), poor relationship with family (<i>OR</i>=1.913, 95%<i>CI</i>: 1.575- 2.323), higher swimming level (<i>P</i>＜0.001) were risk factors for the high-risk behaviors associated with drowning.  <b>Conclusion</b>  It is necessary to strengthen the health education about drowning prevention and drowning rescue training in primary and middle schools in Shufu, give full play to the role of school education about anti-drowning and guardian supervision and pay close attention to the mental health of left behind children and anti-drowning monitoring.</sec><p /> <p>Language: zh</p>",
