OBJETIVO: Verificar a prevalência da exposição à violência sexual entre adolescentes estudantes de escolas estaduais. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionadas 52 escolas estaduais de Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil, com ensino fundamental completo, por meio de um processo de amostragem aleatória, estratificada de acordo com o tamanho das escolas. Foi selecionada, em cada escola, uma turma de oitava série por sorteio aleatório e foram incluídos todos os adolescentes presentes nas salas de aula que consentiram em participar do estudo. Foi utilizado o instrumento Triagem da Exposição de Crianças à Violência na Comunidade para identificar jovens que foram vítimas, testemunhas ou que conheciam vítimas de atos de violência sexual. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 1.193 adolescentes, representando 10,3% dos alunos matriculados na oitava série da rede estadual da cidade. Vinte e sete (2,3%) adolescentes relataram ter sido vítimas de violência sexual, 54 (4,5%) ter sido testemunhas de algum tipo de violência sexual e 332 (27,9%) relataram conhecer alguém que tenha sido vítima de violência sexual. CONCLUSÕES: A exposição à violência sexual pelas três formas de contato relatadas mostrou-se freqüente entre os adolescentes estudados. São necessários estudos que abordem a violência sexual como um fenômeno social amplo, com múltiplos fatores associados, amparando estratégias comunitárias de prevenção e de tratamento.

The study examined the relationship between psychological wellbeing and domestic violence among adolescent's home caregivers and non-home caregivers in Onitsha North and South L.G.A of Anambra State. In this correlational study which utilized random sampling techniques, adolescents from four different schools both primary and secondary schools comprising of 100 home caregivers and 100 non-home caregivers age ranging from 18 and above were interviewed using standardized measures of psychological wellbeing and domestic violence questionnaire. Results from correlational and independent sample T-test analysis indicated that there is a significant relationship between psychological wellbeing and domestic violence among adolescent's home caregivers and nonadolescent's home caregivers with mean=184.1, STD=9.26 and r=0.000 and also there is a significant difference on the level of psychological wellbeing and domestic violence between the adolescent home caregivers and non-home caregivers f=7.74, T=22.6, df=198, sig=0.000. The findings indicated that majority of adolescents have been exposed to domestic violence. We concluded that domestic violence and psychological wellbeing is a two side coin which terribly affect adolescence period often know as critical period. The study will help to determine whether an adolescent will transcend to either a sound adulthood or on the contrary the opposite. The study therefore recommends that state of emergency should be declared on domestic violence especially among adolescent's home caregivers by the government and other agencies if sound psychological wellbeing should be achieved.

“…Some effects of witnessing community violence have been identified as acting out behavior (Eth & Pynoos, 1985), higher levels of stress (Fitzpatrick & Boldizar, 1993;Lorion & Saltzman, 1990;Osofsky et al, 1993), more depression (Freeman, Mokros & Poznanski, 1993; and belligerence (Green et al, 1991). DuRant and his colleagues (DuRant et al, 1994a;DuRant, Pendergrast & Cadenhead, 1994b) have shown that adolescents' exposure to violence and their own victimization are associated with subsequent use of aggressive and violent behaviors.…”

Social service professionals are more frequently identifying children who witness adult domestic violence as victims of that abuse. This article expands common definitions of how children witness violence, and adult domestic violence in particular. Over 80 research papers were reviewed and a variety of behavioral, emotional, cognitive and physical functioning problems among children were found to be associated with exposure to domestic violence. Factors that appear to mediate the impact of witnessing violence, such as child gender, age, and time since last exposure to violence are identified. Concerns about research methodology are also raised.
