背景
工作场所暴力是一个重大问题，但大多数关于这一主题的研究都集中在成年人身上。尽管青少年工人面临着许多增加其工作场所暴力风险的就业条件，但他们没有得到足够的关注。
方法
研究人员使用描述性统计分析了1,171名14-17岁美国学生的调查数据，以调查身体攻击，口头威胁和性骚扰的发生率和肇事者。
结果
近三分之一的受访者经历过某种形式的工作场所暴力：25%的人受到口头威胁，10%受到身体攻击，10%受到性骚扰。调查发现，在人口统计学上存在显著差异，最常见的人身攻击和言语威胁的肇事者是顾客，而性骚扰最常见的肇事者是同事。
结论
许多工作的青少年，大多数只有几年的工作经验，已经遭受工作场所的暴力。由于青年可能更容易受到其影响，因此应优先制定针对青少年工人的工作场所暴力预防战略。
BACKGROUND
Workplace violence is a significant problem yet most research on this topic has focused on adults. Despite facing numerous employment conditions that raise their risk for workplace violence, adolescent workers have received inadequate attention.
METHODS
Survey data from 1,171 US students ages 14-17 were analyzed using descriptive statistics to investigate the incidence and perpetrators of physical attacks, verbal threats, and sexual harassment.
RESULTS
Nearly one-third of respondents experienced some form of workplace violence: 25% verbally threatened, 10% physically attacked, and 10% sexually harassed. Significant demographic differences were found. The most common perpetrators of physical attacks and verbal threats were customers while sexual harassment most often came from co-workers.
CONCLUSIONS
Many working adolescents, most with only a few years work experience, have already suffered workplace violence. As youth are likely to be more vulnerable to its effects, developing workplace violence prevention strategies that target adolescent workers should be made a priority.
