Résumé
L’étude vise à évaluer la prévalence et les facteurs associés à la polyvictimisation chez l’enfant, ainsi qu’à fournir une estimation fiable du problème dans le contexte chinois. En utilisant une procédure d’échantillonnage stratifiée à deux niveaux, 18 341 élèves chinois ont été recrutés dans six villes de Chine. Ils ont été invités à remplir un questionnaire autoadministré contenant des questions sur leurs victimisations dans l’enfance, leurs comportements de dépendance et leurs comportements sexuels à l’adolescence. La version chinoise validée du questionnaire sur la victimisation juvénile (JVQ pour l’acronyme anglophone) a été utilisée. Les taux de prévalence obtenus, portant sur l’année précédente, sont de 23,2 % pour tout type de victimisation des enfants et 9,2 % pour la polyvictimisation. Vivre en Chine continentale, être parmi les plus jeunes et avoir des frères et soeurs, sont les facteurs associés à l’augmentation du rapport de cote (« odds ratio ») de polyvictimisation. Certains comportements de dépendance et sexuels des adolescents, incluant les jeux de hasard, le tabagisme, l’alcoolisme, les relations sexuelles précoces, les multiples partenaires sexuels, et la grossesse chez les adolescentes, sont également significativement associés à une probabilité accrue de polyvictimisation. Les résultats de cette étude révèlent de fortes associations entre la victimisation des enfants et les comportements à risque, ce qui souligne la nécessité d’une intervention prioritaire en cas de polyvictimisation.

Abstract
The study aims to investigate the prevalence of and factors associated with child poly-victimization, in order to provide a reliable estimate of the problem in the Chinese context. Using a 2-stage stratified sampling procedure, 18,341 high schools students were recruited from 6 cities in China. Students were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire containing items about child victimization, addictive behaviors and adolescent sexual behaviors. In particular, the validated Chinese version of Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ) was employed in this study. Preceding-year prevalence rates were 23.2 % for any type of child victimization and 9.2 % for poly-victimization. Living in Mainland China, being younger in age, and having siblings were associated with increased odds ratios of poly-victimization. Some adolescent addictive and sexual behaviors, including gambling, smoking, alcohol abuse, early sexual intercourse, multiple sex partners and teenage pregnancy, were also significantly associated with increased likelihood of poly-victimization. The findings of this study provide evidence of strong associations between child victimization and risky behaviors, which warrant prioritized intervention in cases of poly-victimization.

Resumen
Este estudio apunta a evaluar la prevalencia y los factores asociados a la poli-victimización del niño así como también a proporcionar una estimación fiable del problema en el contexto chino. Utilizando un procedimiento de muestreo estratificado en dos niveles, 18.341 alumnos chinos han sido reclutados en seis ciudades de China. Los mismos han sido invitados a completar un cuestionario auto-administrado que contenía preguntas sobre sus victimizaciones en la infancia, sus comportamientos adictivos y sobre los comportamientos sexuales en la adolescencia. La versión china validada del cuestionario sobre la victimización juvenil (JVQ por el acrónimo anglófono) ha sido utilizada. Los índices de prevalencia obtenidos en referencia al año precedente son de 23,2 % por todo tipo de victimización de niños y 9,2 % por la poli-victimizacion. Vivir en China continental, estar entre los más jóvenes y tener hermanos son los factores asociados al aumento del riesgo (« odds ratio ») de poli-victimización. Algunos comportamientos adictivos y sexuales de los adolescentes, incluyendo los juegos de azar, el tabaquismo, el alcoholismo, las relaciones sexuales precoces, las parejas sexuales múltiples, y el embarazo adolescente, están asociados significativamente a un aumento de la probabilidad de poli-victimización. Los resultados del presente estudio revelan fuertes asociaciones entre la victimización de los niños y las conductas de riesgo, subrayando así la necesidad de una intervención prioritaria en el caso de una poli-victimización.
