: Being exposed to violence is a global health problem, increasing the risk of suffering from ill health. The main aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of emotional, physical and sexual violence victimisation and its association to self-rated health among youths. The second aim was to investigate whether the youths had disclosed to healthcare professionals at a Youth Centre or others about being exposed. : The cross-sectional study includes data from a web survey of youths, aged 15-25 (=500), collected in Sweden. Descriptive statistics and univariate analyses were used for the analyses. : In all, emotional, physical or sexual violence during their lifetime was reported by 43.2% and 22.8% of youths during the last year. In total, 88% of the respondents assessed their self-rated health as good, very good or excellent. Those who had been exposed to emotional, physical or sexual violence during their lifetime reported statistically significant lower self-rated health (fair and poor) than those who were not victimised. When healthcare professionals at the Youth Centre asked youths about exposure during their lifetime, one-fifth disclosed having been exposed.
遭受暴力是一个全球性的健康问题，会增加健康不佳的风险。本研究的主要目的是估计青少年中情感暴力、身体暴力和性暴力受害情况的发生率及其与自评健康的关联。第二个目的是调查青少年是否向青少年中心的医疗保健专业人员或其他人透露过自己遭受暴力的情况。：这项横断面研究包括来自瑞典对15至25岁（=500人）青少年进行的网络调查数据。分析采用描述性统计和单变量分析。：总体而言，43.2%的青少年报告在其一生中曾遭受情感、身体或性暴力，22.8%的青少年报告在过去一年中曾遭受此类暴力。总共有88%的受访者将他们的自评健康评为良好、非常好或优秀。那些在一生中遭受过情感、身体或性暴力的青少年报告的自评健康状况（一般和较差）在统计学上显著低于未遭受暴力的青少年。当青少年中心的医疗保健专业人员询问青少年一生中是否遭受过暴力时，五分之一的人透露自己曾遭受过暴力。
