Abstract
BACKGROUND: Poly-victimization (PV), encompassing multiple forms of victimization including physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, neglect, and peer violence, poses a significant public health challenge among children, particularly in rural areas with high rates of children whose parents have migrated to cities for work, leaving them in rural areas (left-behind children). This study investigates PV among rural children in the Chaoshan region of China, an area with distinct economic and cultural characteristics.
