The majority community medical staff, community managers and community residents thought that the community should have mental health service. There were different needs of the community mental health service in education, gender, incomes, ages, marital.2. Detective rate of psychological problem: 353 persons were detected with psychological problem according to SCL-90 results. The totle detective rate accounts for 30.2 %. Detection rates of psychological problems of male and female community residents were 10.44% and 19.56%, and there was a significant difference between men and women. Female's rate is significantly higher than the male's. By investigating the SCL-90 scor of community residents, the score difference of factors has statistical significance apart from factors of somatization and anxiety with nation-wide norm in China. The result showed that there were significant difference among different sex, cultures, ages and marital of community residents in the certain factors of SCL-90, social support and coping styles.3.

There were significant differences among different marriage, different cultures, different ages community residents in some factors of life events.5. The bad aspects of community residents'families, work and study, sociality and other problems were positively correlative with the some factors of SCL- 90, while the good aspects of community residents'families, work and study were positively correlative with the some factors of SCL- 90. In community residents'coping styles, the solving problem was positively correlative with the objective support, subjective support and the extent of support use and totle scores of support. The assistance was positively correlative with the objective support, the extent of support use and the total scores of support. While self-accusation, fantasy and rationalization were negatively correlative with the objective support, subjective support, the extent of support use and the total scores of support; and retreat were negatively correlative with the objective support, subjective support and the total scores of support.6.

The results of a logistic multi-factor regression analysis by binomial classification, with psychological health as dependent variable (dichotomized variable : SCL-90 factors which has 1 item or above with scores equal or bigger than 2 are valued 1, while thoses with an average score smaller than 2 are valued 0) and all factors of coping style as independen variables, showed that solving the problem, self-accusation and fantasy were modeled, in which the OR scores of fantasy and self-accusation were high and were dangerous factors, while the solving the problem was found to be the protective factors .The results of a logistic multi-factor regression analysis by binomial classification, with psychological health as dependent variable (dichotomized variable : SCL-90 factors which has 1 item or above with scores equal or bigger than 2 are valued 1, thoses with an average score smaller than 2 are valued 0) and all factors of life events as independen variables, showed that the family-related bad incidents, bad incidents of work and study and bad incidents of sociality problems were modeled, in which three factors were dangerous factors.We can timely found the community residents of psychological problems through early warning model, and those of community residents can be early prevented and intervented and prevent them having mental diseases.8. The degree of fitting test to the structure equation model of life events, social support and psychological health of psychological health of community residents found that various of fitting indices of the integrated model were higher than those of the independent model, and the integrated model has higher degrees of fitting and stability. The social support has regulatory effects on the stress of life events to the residents'psychological health.Conclusion and Suggestion:With regard to the bad incidents of family problems, work or learning problems, sociality and other problems in life events, educational degrees and marital status have significantly prognostic effect on the psychological health of community residents.
