The Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) developed by Shuiyuan Xiao was a 10-item questionnaire for measuring social support, including objective social support (3 items), subjective social support (4 items), and utilization of social support (3 items). A higher score indicated more social support. The SSRS has been widely used and shows acceptable reliability and validity in the Chinese adolescent population.[28–30] Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the SSRS across five surveys in this study was 0.75 to 0.78.
