Exposure to family and domestic violence (FDV) in childhood can have a detrimental effect on children's health and social outcomes. However, research on the school outcomes of children exposed to FDV is scant.
To investigate the impact of FDV exposure on school attendance and suspension in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children.
A population-based retrospective cohort study of school children, in grade 1 to 10, born from 1993 to 2006 in Western Australia (n = 26,743) using linked administrative data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals to determine the association with school attendance and suspension outcomes for children exposed to FDV compared to non-exposed children.
Compared to non-exposed children, children exposed to FDV have an increase of poor school attendance: Aboriginal children adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.75-2.07, non-Aboriginal children aOR = 2.42, 95%CI: 2.12-2.75. FDV-exposed children also have an increased risk of school suspension: Aboriginal children aOR = 1.60, 95%CI: 1.47-1.74, non-Aboriginal children aOR = 2.68, 95%CI: 2.35-3.05, compared to non-exposed counterparts.
Exposure to FDV is associated with an increased odds of poor school attendance and school suspension. Evidence-based and innovative strategies are needed to support children who are exposed to FDV. This involves responding in ways that does not cause further trauma to children; a restorative and trauma-informed approach is vital.
儿童时期遭受家庭暴力（FDV）会对其健康和社会发展产生不利影响。然而，针对遭受 FDV 的儿童的学校成绩的研究却很少。
研究 FDV 暴露对原住民和非原住民儿童的出勤率和停学率的影响。
这是一项基于人群的回顾性队列研究，对 1993 年至 2006 年期间在西澳大利亚州上 1 至 10 年级的 26743 名学童进行了研究，使用的是链接的行政数据。采用多变量逻辑回归分析计算了比值比（OR）和 95%置信区间（CI），以确定与 FDV 暴露儿童相比，非暴露儿童的出勤率和停学率结果的关联。
与非暴露儿童相比，遭受 FDV 暴露的儿童的出勤率较低：原住民儿童调整后的比值比（aOR）=1.91，95%CI：1.75-2.07，非原住民儿童 aOR=2.42，95%CI：2.12-2.75。遭受 FDV 暴露的儿童也有更高的停学风险：原住民儿童 aOR=1.60，95%CI：1.47-1.74，非原住民儿童 aOR=2.68，95%CI：2.35-3.05，与非暴露的儿童相比。
遭受 FDV 与出勤率低和停学的几率增加有关。需要采取循证和创新的策略来支持遭受 FDV 的儿童。这涉及以不造成儿童进一步创伤的方式做出回应；恢复性和以创伤为中心的方法至关重要。
