Binge drinking and experiences of victimization among adolescents: findings of a nationwide representative study in Germany

Conclusion Binge drinking poses a challenge to suitable prevention strategies which should affect not only further causative factors and consequences of binge drinking but also forms of victimization. Furthermore, prevention strategies should include approaches to help children and adolescents identify forms of victimization and adverse events and cope with them. Although there are close relations between experiences of victimization and binge drinking, the question as to the cause and effect cannot finally be answered with the data available.
