ABSTRACT=Background：To explore the current situation of knowledge, attitude and behavior about the correct use of Analgesics among adolescents in Western Sichuan and Chongqing and its related factors, so as to provide reference for health promotion schools to promote correct medication education and relevant policy-making. 
Methods：A questionnaire survey was conducted among senior high school students in Sichuan and Chongqing by stratified random sampling. A total of 48 classes were surveyed and 2280 valid questionnaires were obtained. Descriptive analysis, mean value comparison and multiple regression analysis were conducted for the data using SPSS17.0 statistical analysis software. 
Results：The better the knowledge, attitude, efficacy and accomplishment of using analgesics, the better the behavior of using analgesics correctly. Students who had taken analgesics provided by their family or friends and who had taken anti-inflammatory analgesics did not perform well in the correct use of analgesics.
Conclusion:The key factors influencing the correct drug use behavior of middle school students are their correct drug use literacy, efficacy, attitude and reading of analgesics. Therefore, schools should strengthen cooperation with pharmacists and encourage the promotion of parent-child education activities of correct drug use.
