Abstract

Social anxiety disorder is a common adolescent anxiety disorder with rates ranging from 9.1% to 44%
between countries around the world. In Vietnam, research on this disorder is quite limited. Social
phobia affects many aspects of life, such as school, work, and increases the risk of depression and
suicide in adults. However, finding treatment, the recovery rate is still quite low. So early screening
for this disorder is necessary. The study conducted on 430 students participating in the study, the
prevalence of phobias on the LSAS scale was 42.3%. 35.7% and 37.4% respectively. Multivariate
analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between social phobia and factors such as
lack of confidence in appearance, mother’s occupation (p <0.05). Research has given a number
of recommendations for early detection and timely intervention solutions towards comprehensive
health care for students
