However, differences in family polyvictimization (FPV) between these families and those without health conditions remain underexplored. This study examined disparities in FPV exposure and associated family-level risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional household survey was conducted with 1,400 Hong Kong families with children under 18. Measures included FPV (FPV Screen), social support (MSPSS), family hierarchy (PRP), health (SF-12v2, PedsQoL), and mental health (DASS-21). Logistic regression models were used to examine associations between family characteristics and having parents with health conditions, as well as differences in FPV exposure between the two family groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Families with parents with health conditions had significantly higher FPV prevalence, with elder victimization remaining significant after adjustment (aOR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.08\u20133.29). These families also showed greater odds of co-occurring disadvantages, including caregiving responsibilities for children with special educational needs (aOR = 3.81) or older relatives (aOR = 1.71), lower household income (aOR = 1.71), reduced physical functioning (aOR = 0.93), limited social support (aOR = 0.83), and heightened exposure to violence socialization (aOR = 1.48).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FPV is more prevalent in families with parents with health conditions, especially when combined with caregiving strain, economic disadvantage, and relational stress. These findings support integrating FPV screening and family-centered support into disability and caregiving services, with attention to elder victimization and low-social-support households.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2026.1892707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T05:32:05Z","timestamp":1786685525000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Family polyvictimization in households with parental health conditions: a cross-sectional study of disparities and risk factors"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Chengrui","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Social Science, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University","place":["Hung Hom, Hong Kong SAR, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiqi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Social Science, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University","place":["Hung Hom, Hong Kong SAR, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Camilla K.
