Examining the Relationship Between School Climate and Peer Victimization Among Students in Military-Connected Public Schools

Military-connected youth (i.e., having a parent or sibling in the military) may be more likely to experience peer victimization than their nonmilitary-connected counterparts. A large sample of 7th, 9th , and 11th graders completed surveys about their military connection, school climate, and experience of peer victimization. Results revealed that a nurturing school climate is important for military-connected students' well-being.
