Few works have investigated gender differences in these direct and indirect associations as well. This study, therefore, examined gender differences in the direct and indirect associations among four types of peer victimization, depression, and sexual risk behaviors in United States (US) high school students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2019-0139_s_998\">\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were drawn from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior System Survey, collected by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The direct effects of physical and sexual dating violence were associated with increased sexual risk behaviors for females and males. However, school-bullying victimization did not significantly predict sexual risk behaviors for either gender. Cyber-bullying victimization significantly predicted increased sexual risk behaviors for males only. Among indirect effects, depression positively mediated the relationship between cyber-bullying victimization and sexual risk behaviors for males only.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2019-0139_s_996\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that male adolescents who are victimized may actually be at higher risk of negative outcomes compared to their female adolescent peers. This study highlights the need to pay attention to male victims who may be ashamed to self-identify and difficult to detect in cyber-bullying.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/ijamh-2019-0139","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,19]],"date-time":"2019-12-19T04:34:31Z","timestamp":1576730071000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Peer victimization, depression, and sexual risk behaviors among high school youth in the United States: a gender-based approach"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3887-2499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Youn Kyoung","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Louisiana State University, School of Social Work , Baton Rouge, LA , USA , Phone: +225-578-1019"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mansoo","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Missouri, School of Social Work , Department of Public Health , Columbia, MO , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Courtney","family":"Cronley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tennessee Knoxville, College of Social Work , Knoxville, TN , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miyoun","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Louisiana State University, School of Social Work , Baton Rouge, LA , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025112723595764991_j_ijamh-2019-0139_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kann L, McManus T, Harris WA, Shanklin SL, Flint KH, Hawkins J, et al.
