Objective: To compare and analyze the mental health status and its influencing factors of liberal arts and science students in double first-class universities. Methods: A random sampling method was used to investigate 1027 freshmen from double top universities by Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90). Results: 37.1% of college freshmen had mental health problems of varying degrees. Univariate analysis of mental health factors showed that the positive symptoms of one or several factors were related to science, arts and gender. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with liberal arts students, science students had a higher risk of positive mental health symptoms, with an OR value of 1.266 (0.967 - 1.658). The explanatory power of each factor of SCL-90 on positive mental health symptoms of liberal arts and science students is different. Conclusion: It is necessary to pay attention to the mental health of college liberal arts and science students, pay attention to the difference of mental health symptoms of positive students, pay attention to the scientific analysis of evaluation results, accurately play the role of psychological intervention mechanism in college, and efficiently carry out college mental health education.
