Prevalence of bullying victimisation among primary school children in South Africa: a population-based study. BMC Res Notes 14, 342 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-021-05747-w1756-0500http://hdl.handle.net/10566/6737Bullying victimisation (BV) among children in South Africa has been identified as a major public health concern. While several studies report on the prevalence rates of BV, there is currently a dearth of research that reports on the prevalence of BV among a national sample of primary school children. This study determines the prevalence rates of BV among a nationally representative sample of school-going children in South Africa across provinces, age, and gender. The sample comprised 7067 children (boys = 45.6%; girls = 54.4%) between the ages of 10–12-years attending 61 primary schools across the nine provincial regions of South Africa.enSouth AfricaPrevalenceBullying VictimisationChildrenArticle
