Witnessing violence in the home
Sex differences
A larger proportion of female than male students reported witnessing adult violence in their home in the last 12 months.
The differences in proportions by sex appear small. However, there were significant differences between male and female students after adjustment for age, ethnicity and socio-economic status.
Female students were more likely than male students to report witnessing an adult in their home yelling or swearing at another adult, an adult in their home yelling or swearing at a child, or an adult in their home hitting or hurting another adult.
