Description:Background:
The aim of this study was to measure the frequency of Workplace Violence (WPV) victimization in 16–24 year-olds in the U.S. and compare rates by occupation and demographics.
Methods:
As an open cohort, participants 12 years of older in the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) were interviewed at six month intervals over a three-year period from 2008–2012. WPV victimization rates were calculated. Weighted, multilevel Poisson regression was used to compare WPV victimization rates by occupation and demographics.
Results:
The rate of WPV victimization was 1.11 incidents per 1,000 employed person-months (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.95–1.27). The highest rates of WPV were in protective service occupations (5.24/1000 person-months), transportation (3.04/1000 person-months) and retail sales (2.29/1000 person-months). Compared with their respective counterparts, lower rates of WPV victimization were found among younger, black, and rural/suburban workers.
Conclusions:
Findings identify the occupations and target populations in need of future research and evidence-based interventions to improve the working conditions for young workers.
