这项研究首次提供了基于全国人口的估计数，描述了秘鲁儿童和青少年时期的暴力行为及其对教育成果的影响。对暴力和教育成果之间的关系进行了分析，使用双变量逻辑回归，控制潜在的混杂因素，结果表明，家庭中的心理暴力（75.6%）和身体暴力（72.5%）是少女经历的最普遍的暴力形式。青少年男孩报告说，他们在同龄人（69.4%）和家中（68.1%）遭受过类似程度的心理暴力。在年轻群体中，女孩（70.6%）和男孩（74.0%）报告的同伴心理暴力比其他形式的暴力更常见。报告一生中遭受性暴力的青少年男女比例相同（42.0%）。暴力经历与教育成果之间的关系因性别而异，家庭暴力与女孩课程不及格或留级以及男孩被开除之间存在强烈关联。男童遭受的性暴力与所有负面教育结果有关，童年暴力与较差教育结果之间的关系是多方面的，可能是双向的，并且在性别之间表现不同。这项研究突出表明，需要有针对性的研究、政策和方案制定，以预防暴力。
This study provides, for the first time, national population-based estimates describing violence during childhood and adolescence in Peru and the impact on educational outcomes.A population-based school survey was conducted among children aged 9-11 (n=1587) and adolescents aged 12-17 (n=1489). The relationship between violence and educational outcomes were analysed using bivariate logistic regressions, controlling for potential confounding factors.The results show that psychological (75.6%) and physical violence (72.5%) at home were the most prevalent forms of violence experienced by adolescent girls. Adolescent boys reported experiencing similar levels of psychological violence from their peers (69.4%) and at home (68.1%). For the younger cohort, peer-to-peer psychological violence was reported more frequently among girls (70.6%) and boys (74.0%) than other forms of violence. Equal percentages of adolescent girls and boys reported experiencing sexual violence in their lifetime (42.0%). The relationship between violence experiences and educational outcomes varied by gender with strong associations between violence at home and failing a course or repeating a grade for girls and being expelled for boys. Sexual violence experienced by boys was associated with all negative educational outcomes.The relationship between violence in childhood and poorer educational outcomes is multi-faceted, potentially bi-directional, and manifests differently between genders. This research highlights the need for targeted research, policy and programming responses for prevention of violence.
