Published: May 2006

Background:   Previous research suggests children use different types of attribution to explain bullying. The research, however, has not explored links between children's attributions.

Method:   This study explores the types of, and links between, attributions made by children about bullying situations. Seventeen 9- and 10-year-olds were interviewed at school. Types of attributions and links between attributions were categorised using content analysis.

Results:   The results suggest that children make a range of linked attributions that can be coded into characterological and behavioural and a new category named 'feelings'.

Conclusions:   The findings are linked to previous research, and implications for clinical and school interventions are discussed.

People living with HIV (PLWH) in Canada experience high rates of interpersonal violence which may lead to adverse health outcomes that require hospitalization. Using self-reported data on experiences of violence linked to administrative health data on hospitalizations, we used Poisson regression modelling to examine and compare the associations between experiences of violence (recent [in the past 6 months], non-recent [>6 months ago], or none) and hospitalization rates, among a sample of PLWH in British Columbia, Canada. Of 984 PLWH included in this study, 60.
