Mandible fractures are relatively uncommon despite the mandible being the most commonly fractured facial bone in the paediatric population. The aetiology of mandible fractures can be categorized as intentional (e.g. as a result of assault, peer-to-peer violence, family violence) or non-intentional (e.g. as a result of falls, motor vehicle crashes, sporting incidents). Peer-to-peer violence affects up to a third of male school aged children in Australia. This case report details the case of a paediatric patient with bilateral mandibular fractures who presented to a general dental practice after an episode of peer-to-peer violence. Clinical examination, radiographic findings and treatment are reported. This paper explores the experience and impact of peer-to-peer physical violence on the individual and his family. A review of the relevant literature is presented. © 2024 Australian Dental Association.

Article Synopsis
- - Healthcare is particularly prone to violence, especially among colleagues, known as horizontal violence, which includes both physical and psychological forms.
- - A review of 13 articles highlighted that recent graduates and less experienced professionals are more vulnerable to this violence, which negatively impacts their well-being and the quality of patient care.
- - Effective departmental leadership is crucial for creating a supportive work environment and reducing horizontal violence, prompting a call for further research to develop strategies to address and prevent this issue.

Background: Sexually exploited young men are prevalent, yet underrepresented in clinical practice, policy and research. There are multiple barriers that often prevent young men to disclose and to seek or receive support, such as gender norms, limited awareness of victimization and feelings of guilt and shame.
Objective: By gaining more insight into the background characteristics of young men who experienced sexual exploitation and their needs, this study aims to raise awareness and to better inform policymakers, care- and educational professionals on adequate prevention and intervention efforts.

In the Global South, young people who use drugs (YPWUD) are exposed to multiple interconnected social and health harms, with many low- and middle-income countries enforcing racist, prohibitionist-based drug policies that generate physical and structural violence. While harm reduction coverage for YPWUD is suboptimal globally, in low- and middle-income countries youth-focused harm reduction programs are particularly lacking. Those that do exist are often powerfully shaped by global health funding regimes that restrict progressive approaches and reach.
