目的：本研究的目的是获得国家估计暴露于全方位的儿童暴力，虐待和犯罪受害者相关的临床实践和公共政策的approaches.METHODS：这项研究是基于一个横截面的全国电话调查，涉及4549名0至17岁的儿童的目标样本。在这一具有全国代表性的样本中，绝大多数儿童和青年（60.6%）在过去一年中至少经历过一次直接或亲眼目睹的受害。几乎一半（46.3%）在研究年中经历过身体攻击，1/4（24.6%）有过财产犯罪经历，1/10（10.2%）曾遭受某种形式的儿童虐待，6.1%曾遭受性侵害，超过四分之一（25.3%）的人在这一年中目睹过暴力或经历过另一种形式的间接受害，其中9.8%的人目睹过家庭内的殴打。十分之一（10.2%）的人经历过与受害相关的伤害。超过三分之一（38.7%）已暴露于2个或更多的直接受害者，10.9%有5个或更多，2.4%有10个或更多在研究year.CONCLUSIONS：儿童暴露于受害的范围和多样性没有得到很好的认可。临床医生和研究人员需要了解更广泛的受害类型，以确定多重受害儿童，并针对儿童面临的各种威胁制定预防和干预措施。儿科2009; 124：1411-1423
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to obtain national estimates of exposure to the full spectrum of the childhood violence, abuse, and crime victimizations relevant to both clinical practice and public-policy approaches to the problem.METHODS: The study was based on a cross-sectional national telephone survey that involved a target sample of 4549 children aged 0 to 17 years.RESULTS: A clear majority (60.6%) of the children and youth in this nationally representative sample had experienced at least 1 direct or witnessed victimization in the previous year. Almost half (46.3%) had experienced a physical assault in the study year, 1 in 4 (24.6%) had experienced a property offense, 1 in 10 (10.2%) had experienced a form of child maltreatment, 6.1% had experienced a sexual victimization, and more than 1 in 4 (25.3%) had been a witness to violence or experienced another form of indirect victimization in the year, including 9.8% who had witnessed an intrafamily assault. One in 10 (10.2%) had experienced a victimization-related injury. More than one third (38.7%) had been exposed to 2 or more direct victimizations, 10.9% had 5 or more, and 2.4% had 10 or more during the study year.CONCLUSIONS: The scope and diversity of child exposure to victimization is not well recognized. Clinicians and researchers need to inquire about a larger spectrum of victimization types to identify multiply victimized children and tailor prevention and interventions to the full range of threats that children face.
