Abstract
Bullying and victimization among youth in out-of-home placement (OOH) and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth were investigated. Participants were 16,766 high school students, with 560 (3%) identifying as OOH, 1539 (9%) as LGBT, and 113 (1%) as OOH+LGBT. Independent samples t-tests and structural equation modeling were used to assess group differences. Results indicated higher levels of 30 day victimization and 30 day bullying for OOH youth compared to non-OOH youth, LGBT youth compared to non-LGBT youth, and OOH+LGBT youth compared to OOH only/LGBT only youth. Positive parenting, peer relationships, and school support mitigated bullying and victimization for all groups; however OOH, LGBT, and OOH+LGBT youth reported significantly lower mean levels of support from these sources than non-OOH/non-LGBT youth.
