Socioeconomic Differences in the Association between Bullying Behaviors and Mental Health in Canadian Adolescents
Journal of School Health, v93 n5 p420-427 May 2023
Background: Bullying and poverty are each associated with poor health in adolescents. We examined socioeconomic differences in the association of bullying and health. Methods: The 2017/2018 Canadian Health Behaviour of School-aged Children study surveyed 21,750 youth (9-18 years). We used linear regression models to investigate interactive effects of bullying involvement (traditional and cyberbullying) and socioeconomic position (SEP) on self-reported life satisfaction, psychological symptoms, and physical symptoms. Results: Involvement in either form of bullying, as a perpetrator or a target, was associated with worse health and well-being compared to uninvolved youths. Associations of victimization via conventional bullying with low life satisfaction (b = -0.33 [-0.61, 0.05]), more psychological symptoms (b = 0.83 [0.27, 1.38]), and more somatic symptoms (b = 0.56 [0.14, 0.98]) were stronger at lower SEP. Conclusion: Socioeconomic disadvantage intensifies the association between bullying victimization and poor health. The intersections of victimization and poverty pose a significant health risk to adolescents.
