Cell entries are sample sizes (n) and frequencies (column percentages for total sample and row percentage by exposure) generated from models that used sampling weights to account for the differential probability of selection of respondents within households and schools, differential non-response, and adjust for differences between the sample and the US population on selected sociodemographic characteristics. Adolescents were coded as exposed to any interpersonal violence if they reported experiencing at least one type of violence (for example, beaten by parents, beaten by other person, rape, or sexual assault/molestation). Rao-Scott chi-square P-values are shown.
