Article Abstract
Purpose: Although gender nonconformity (GNC) and transgender identity are both linked to bullying victimization, few studies have examined them with bullying victimization simultaneously. Using a sample of Youth Risk Behavior Survey, we investigated the associations of GNC and transgender identity with bullying victimization within the same study.
Methods: We analyzed data from the cross-sectional school-based Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2017 (n = 25,378). The exposures were GNC and transgender identity. The main outcomes were traditional victimization, cyber victimization, and combined victimization. We calculated adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Poisson regression models.
Results: There were 22.15% of high school students with GNC, and 1.61% identified themselves as transgender. GNC is associated with traditional (APR,1.45;95%CI, 1.21-1.73), cyber (APR,2.00; 95%CI, 1.66-2.40) and combined victimization (APR,1.61;95%CI, 1.42-1.83) respectively among assigned male at birth (AMAB) students only. Transgender male and female students are both at higher risk of bullying victimization for all the three outcomes than cisgender peers.
Conclusions: AMAB GNC and transgender identity are associated with a higher risk of bullying victimization. Providing support systems and celebrating gender diversity within and outside schools are important.

Students experiencing victimization and those bullying others may develop subsequent sleep problems and vice versa. The existing meta-analyses have focused only on cross-sectional associations or longitudinal links from victimization to sleep problems. Therefore, this study systematically reviewed the literature and conducted a meta-analysis of cross-sectional and bidirectional longitudinal associations between victimization or bullying and sleep problems in children and adolescents.

Background: Population surveys on child wellbeing require a brief, validated tool to measure child and adolescent maltreatment. The 7-item Short Child Maltreatment Questionnaire (SCMQ), developed by a WHO expert committee, has not been psychometrically tested.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the factor structure, measurement invariance and correlates of a modified version of the SCMQ (6 of its 7 items) in a sample of adolescents attending schools in England.

Department of Child Health and Development, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway.
Background: An upward trend in self-reported mental distress among adolescents has been documented in Norway and several other countries, yet the causes remain unclear. This study aims to identify potential explanations for this trend by testing hypothesized factors using repeated cross-sectional data.
Methods: We analyzed responses from 979,043 Norwegian adolescents, collected across 1417 municipality level surveys between 2011 and 2024.
Registered Nurses' Experiences of Vertical Violence in the United States Health Care Workplace: A Qualitative Study.

Background: The presence of health care workplace violence (WPV) significantly impacts victims, patients, and the organization. Registered nurses' experience of vertical WPV is not well understood, in part because the extant literature uses inconsistent and ambiguous terminology or focuses on bullying or incivility, excluding other violent behaviors.
Objective: This critical ethnography study explored the perceptions and experiences of registered nurses who have been victims of vertical violence in the health care workplace.
Tracing the impact of childhood maltreatment on adolescent aggression and victimization: A longitudinal study.
Child Abuse Negl

China Academy for Rural Development, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Although previous research has documented the adverse effects of childhood maltreatment, most studies have treated the cycle of violence and the cycle of victimization as distinct phenomena, lacking a unified theoretical framework. Moreover, limited empirical attention has been given to attention problems as a potential mediating mechanism linking childhood maltreatment to later outcomes.
Objective: This study examined whether childhood maltreatment predicted adolescent aggressive behavior and bullying victimization, and further investigated whether these associations were mediated by attention problems.
