The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study is a large school-based survey carried out every four years in collaboration with the WHO Regional Office for Europe. This report, Volume 2 in the series, focuses on adolescent peer violence and bullying, using the unique HBSC evidence on adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 years across 44 countries and regions in Europe, central Asia and Canada. It describes the status of adolescent peer violence (bullying, cyberbullying and fighting), the role of gender, age and social inequality, and how adolescent bullying and fighting behaviour has changed over time. Providing comprehensive evidence for policy, the report presents data related to trends in violence and harmful actions in the lives of children, including in digital environments with findings on cyberbullying perpetration and cyberbullying victimisation. In addition, the analysis involves potential impacts of peer violence, identifying social patterns related to the topic, and policy implications, highlighting factors that may put young people at risk.
