School violence has been recognized worldwide as a public health problem that negatively impacts the educational process. However, in Puerto Rico official statistics and the media generally focus on isolated incidents of extreme violence in which weapons are used or property is destroyed. Little data is available about the most common forms of violence that often occur in schools on a daily basis. The , developed with the input of school communities participating in Project VIAS (Violence and Asthma Health Disparity Network) of Universidad del Este (UNE), was used in this study to gather information about the characteristics of violence in two Puerto Rican schools. Among the study findings we highlight gender differences in observed violence and aggressive games and interactions between students. The data collected have served as a basis for decision-making regarding violence prevention in participating schools and have implications for the development of prevention strategies and programs.
校园暴力已被全球公认为是一个对教育过程产生负面影响的公共卫生问题。然而，在波多黎各，官方统计数据和媒体通常关注的是使用武器或破坏财产的极端暴力孤立事件。关于学校日常经常发生的最常见暴力形式的数据却很少。本研究采用了在参与东方大学（UNE）“暴力与哮喘健康差异网络”（Project VIAS）项目的学校社区参与下开发的[具体内容未给出]，来收集两所波多黎各学校暴力特征的信息。在研究结果中，我们强调了观察到的暴力行为中的性别差异以及学生之间的攻击性游戏和互动。所收集的数据已成为参与学校预防暴力决策的依据，并对预防策略和项目的制定具有启示意义。
