To examine the prevalence of young childrens' reported experiences of racial discrimination and to assess whether discriminatory experiences vary by gender, religion and country of birth.
Data came from Speak Out Against Racism (SOAR), a cross-sectional study of 4664 public school students in grades 5-9 in two Australian states in 2017. An adaption of the Adolescent Discrimination Distress Index (ADDI), as a measure of discrimination, was used across four Indigenous and ethnic categories (Indigenous, Asian and non-Asian visible minorities, Anglo/European). Effect-measure modification (EMM) examined how experiences of racial discrimination across ethnic groups varied by gender, country of birth and religion.
A sizeable proportion (40%) of students reported experiencing racial discrimination. Indigenous, Asian and non-Asian visible minority students reported higher rates of experiencing racial discrimination than their Anglo-European peers. Male students reported higher rates of experiencing racial discrimination than female students. Foreign-born students reported experiencing racial discrimination more often than native-born students, and both Christian and religious minorities experienced racial discrimination more often than students identifying with the dominant "No religion" group.
The findings highlight the prevalence of racial discrimination among adolescents and how gender, country of birth and religion can increase risk of these experiences.
调查幼儿报告的种族歧视经历的发生率，并评估歧视经历是否因性别、宗教和出生国家而异。
数据来自“大声反对种族主义”（SOAR），这是一项2017年对澳大利亚两个州4664名5至9年级公立学校学生进行的横断面研究。采用青少年歧视困扰指数（ADDI）的改编版作为歧视的衡量标准，涵盖四个原住民和族裔类别（原住民、亚洲和非亚洲可见少数群体、盎格鲁/欧洲人）。效应测量修正（EMM）研究了不同种族群体的种族歧视经历如何因性别、出生国家和宗教而有所不同。
相当大比例（40%）的学生报告经历过种族歧视。原住民、亚洲和非亚洲可见少数群体的学生报告的种族歧视经历发生率高于他们的盎格鲁-欧洲同龄人。男学生报告的种族歧视经历发生率高于女学生。外国出生的学生比本地出生的学生更常报告经历种族歧视，基督教徒和宗教少数群体比认同占主导地位的“无宗教信仰”群体的学生更常经历种族歧视。
研究结果凸显了青少年中种族歧视的普遍性，以及性别、出生国家和宗教如何会增加经历此类歧视的风险。
