Peer victimization, defined as direct and indirect forms of intentional aggression perpetrated by peers, affects approximately one-third of children and adolescents.26 Among typically developing youth, there is a robust literature linking peer victimization status to negative health indicators, including depressed mood, sleep problems, and bodily pain.2,6,12,14,27,39,40,45,51 Despite increasing evidence linking peer victimization to physical pain and its correlates in otherwise healthy youth, we know very little about the peer victimization experiences of youth seeking treatment for chronic pain.
