Protecting children in youth-serving organizations is a national concern.
To provide clinicians, policymakers, and parents with estimates of children's exposure to abuse in youth-serving organizations.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Telephone survey data from the 3 National Surveys of Children's Exposure to Violence (2008, 2011, and 2014) were combined to create a sample of 13,052 children and youths aged 0 to 17 years. The survey participants included youths aged 10 to 17 years and caregivers of children aged 0 to 9 years.
Items from the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire.
In the combined sample of 13 052 children and youths aged 0 to 17 years, the rate of abuse by persons in youth-serving organizations was 0.4% (95% CI, 0.2-0.7) for the past year and 0.8% (95% CI, 0.5-1.1) over the lifetime. Most of the maltreatment (63.2%) was verbal abuse and only 6.4% was any form of sexual violence or assault.
Abuse in youth-serving organizations was a relatively rare form of abuse, dwarfed by abuse by family members and other adults.
保护青少年服务组织中的儿童是全国关注的问题。
为临床医生、政策制定者和家长提供青少年服务组织中儿童受虐待情况的估计。
设计、设置和参与者：合并了 3 项全国儿童暴力暴露调查（2008 年、2011 年和 2014 年）的电话调查数据，创建了一个包含 13052 名 0 至 17 岁儿童和青少年的样本。调查参与者包括 10 至 17 岁的青少年和 0 至 9 岁儿童的照顾者。
青少年受害问卷中的项目。
在 0 至 17 岁的 13052 名儿童和青少年的综合样本中，过去一年中，青少年服务组织人员虐待的发生率为 0.4%（95%CI，0.2-0.7），终身发生率为 0.8%（95%CI，0.5-1.1）。大多数虐待（63.2%）是言语虐待，只有 6.4%是任何形式的性暴力或攻击。
青少年服务组织中的虐待是一种相对罕见的虐待形式，与家庭成员和其他成年人的虐待相比相形见绌。
