The study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of interpersonal violence (physical attacks and physical fighting) among school-going adolescents in Tanzania. We analysed an existing data set of 3 765 adolescent learners (mean age = 14 years, SD = 1. 7 years) by the Global School-based Student Health Survey in 2014. Results indicate that 53.1% of the students reported experiencing physical attack (54.4% in boys and 51.6% in girls) and 29.9% had engaged in a physical fight the past 12 months (29.3% in boys and 29.7% in girls). In adjusted logistic regression analyses, school truancy, bullying victimisation, and injury were associated with physical attack experience. Being younger and self-reporting health risk beahviours such as sedentary behaviour, current tobacco use, consumption of soft drinks, bullying victimisation, and injury were associated with involvement in physical fights. Preventive interpersonal violence interventions with adolescent school learners should seek to address both physical aggression survivorship and perpetration.

坦桑尼亚在校青少年中人际暴力的普遍性和相关性

该研究旨在评估坦桑尼亚在校青少年之间人际暴力(人身攻击和人身战斗)的发生率和相关性。我们通过2014年基于全球学校的学生健康调查分析了3 765名青少年学习者的现有数据集(平均年龄= 14岁,SD = 1. 7岁)。结果表明,有53.1%的学生报告遭受过身体攻击(在过去的12个月中,男孩参加过身体搏斗的比例为54.4%,女孩为51.6%)和29.9%(男孩为29.3%,女孩为29.7%)。在调整后的Logistic回归分析中,学校逃学,欺凌受害和伤害与身体发作经验相关。年龄较小且自我报告的健康风险行为,例如久坐的行为,目前的烟草使用,饮用软饮料,欺凌受害,和伤害与参与肉搏有关。对青少年学习者的预防性人际暴力干预措施应设法解决身体侵略幸存者和犯罪行为的问题。
