It is a common assumption that children with disabilities are more likely to experience victimization than their peers without disabilities. However, there is a paucity of robust research supporting this assumption in the current literature. In response to this need, we conducted a logistic regression analysis using a national dataset of responses from 26,572 parents/caregivers to children with and without disabilities across all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. The purpose of our study was to acquire a greater understanding of the odds of victimization among children with and without intellectual disability (ID), while controlling for several child and parent/adult demographic correlates. Most notably, our study revealed that children with ID have 2.84 times greater odds of experiencing victimization than children without disabilities, after adjusting for the other predictors in the model. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

人们普遍认为，与非残疾儿童相比，残疾儿童更有可能遭受伤害。然而，在当前文献中缺乏有力的研究支持这一假设。为了满足这一需求，我们使用全国 50 个州以及哥伦比亚特区的 26,572 名父母/看护人对残疾儿童和非残疾儿童的回应数据进行了逻辑回归分析。我们研究的目的是更好地了解有和没有智力障碍 (ID) 的儿童受害的几率，同时控制几个儿童和父母/成人的人口相关性。最值得注意的是，我们的研究表明，患有 ID 的儿童遭受伤害的几率是非残疾儿童的 2.84 倍，在调整模型中的其他预测变量后。讨论了对未来研究和实践的影响。
