Title: The Long-Term Health Consequences of Bullying Victimization

Summary: Bullying consists of repeated acts of intimidation and/or abuse over a period of time and is a growing issue both nationally and globally, with serious implications for both the victims and the bullies (Glew et al., 2000; Marsh et al., 2001; Mayer & Cornell, 2010). Largely affecting schoolaged children and teenagers, the health effects of bullying may be long lasting. Links have been established between bullying and physical and psychological health issues, violent behavior, alcoholism and substance abuse, sleeping problems, and even suicide (Britt, 2001; Fekkes et al., 2004; Hershberger & D’Augelli, 1995; Menard, 2002; Ttofi & Farrington, 2008; Van der Wal et al., 2003). This research brief provides a summary of results from a recent study designed to examine the relationship between bullying and physical and mental health, health care access and utilization, and health risk behaviors. The full study will be published in a special issue of Justice Quarterly, titled “Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Public Health Studies.”
