Background: Bullying victimization can impose long-lasting impacts on adolescent's current and subsequent well-being. Understanding the correlates of bullying victimization and how to prevent its occurrence is an urgent need. Food insecurity, an indicator of low socioeconomic status, may be related to bullying victimization. However, research on the association between food insecurity and bullying victimization is limited. Using a representative global sample, this study aimed to investigate the association between food insecurity and bullying victimization in adolescents and whether the association varied between country income levels, sexes, and age groups.Methods: Using cross-sectional, school-based data by 170,618 adolescents in 59 countries from the Global School-based Student Health Survey, multivariable logistic regression and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate the overall, country-stratified, sex-stratified, and age-stratified associations.Results: The prevalence of bullying victimization was 33.3%. In the total sample, adolescents with food insecurity showed significantly higher odds for bullying victimization than those without no food insecurity with a pooled odds ratio (OR) being 1.37 (1.28, 1.47). Further, the association was stronger in higher-income countries, females, and older adolescents.Conclusions: Bullying victimization is prevalent among global adolescents with food insecurity being a significant correlate. The identification of adolescents with perceptions of food insecurity and remedying this condition may be important to reduce the prevalence of bullying. This highlights the need to design and implement sex- and age-specific interventions focusing on remedying food insecurity and bullying victimization among in-school adolescents by taking country income levels into account.

Introducción: El acoso escolar es un fenómeno social, complejo y multifactorial, que hace referencia a la exposición de diferentes formas de maltrato de forma repetitiva, sistemática e intencionada. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y los factores asociados con el acoso escolar en adolescentes de tres instituciones educativas públicas. Métodos: Estudio analítico de corte transversal, mediante una encuesta auto-administrada se evaluaron 816 adolescentes de sexto a noveno grado de tres instituciones educativas de Bucaramanga, Colombia en el año 2014. Resultados: El 84.2% de los adolescentes escolarizados manifestó haber sido testigo de cualquier tipo de violencia, víctima el 33.8% y victimario el 22.3%. Predominó la violencia verbal 80.1%, seguida de la física 47.7% y psicológica 36.9%. En el análisis bivariado no se encontró relación entre el acoso escolar y el sexo, el colegio, la jornada, el curso académico, el tipo de familia y su funcionalidad en los roles de testigos y víctimas. En el análisis bivariado y multivariado se encontró asociación del acoso escolar con el sexo, tipo de familia, consumo de cigarrillo y consumo de bebidas energizantes en el rol de victimario. Discusión: La identificación de las variables asociadas al acoso escolar permite priorizar y orientar las decisiones que se tomen entorno a la problemática. Conclusiones: El acoso escolar es un fenómeno complejo que requiere la articulación de la comunidad académica, padres de familia, profesionales de la salud y autoridades territoriales.

Background: Traditional bullying (or peer bullying) is considered a common and unpleasant experience among students and has serious consequences such as mental health problems and unhealthy behavior. In recent years, another type of bullying named cyberbullying has emerged as a growing problem with negative effects on school achievement, physiology, and mental health of its victims. Objective: The purpose of this research is to examine and compare the roles of traditional and cyberbullying victimization in substance use, self-harm and suicide attempts. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study and conducted in 2019. A total of 425 high school students were selected for the study in Kermanshah, Iran. For conducting the survey, a multi-stage cluster randomized procedure was used and 18 classes in six different high schools in three urban areas were selected. A total of 400 students (mean age 16.61 years, 53.2% girls) responded to the survey, and it provided usable information for the research. Data were analyzed through binary logistic regression analyses. Results: The analysis results revealed that 54.2% of students (n = 217) have experienced traditional or cyber victimization. Any kind of victimization was associated with self-harm. Cyber victimization alone and the combination of cyber plus traditional victimization showed significant association with suicide and substance use. Risk of substance use, self-harm, and suicide was higher when students experienced both types of bullying than when they experienced just one kind of bullying alone. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that traditional and cyber victims may require immediate intervention to reduce the negative effects of victimization. Also, prevention programs should consider the possible relationship between traditional and cyber victimization and substance use, self-harm, and suicide.
