Injuries, Violence, and Bullying Among Middle School Students in Oman.
Injuries account for a substantial proportion of the burden of disease in adolescents globally. This paper describes injury rates and associated exposures, and risk behaviors in Oman's 2010 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS). ⋯ Promoting healthier peer relationships may help to reduce injuries in this age group as well as reducing the harmful effects of bullying.
