Online and offline sexual harassment associations of anxiety and depression in an adolescent sample.

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that sexual harassment remains a common plague for adolescents, especially for girls. Offline sexual harassment is the most common form of harassment for both genders. For girls, but not for boys, online sexual harassment correlated significantly with anxiety and depressive symptoms. A strong negative correlation between satisfaction to peer-relationships and mental health symptoms was found. PMID: 33347341 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
