Personal disclosure behaviours consist of posting and sending personal information, interacting with strangers and posting revealing pictures.

Perpetration behaviours include adolescents perpetrating harassment and unwanted sexual solicitation.

ORs are adjusted for (1) sociodemographic characteristics (ethnicity, gender, geographic location, parent’s relationship status and parent’s education level) and (2) SNS use (frequency and age of SNS access).

Bold text indicates statistically significant p values.
